What's the difference...

between statically linking Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 to my Allegro library and dynamically linking? How can I tell which linking I need for my program? How can I tell if I already have DirectX SDK (Software Development Kit) installed? Help me please, I'm really running short on patience!!!

Check your Control Panel Add/Remove sofdware and see if the DirectX SDK is there.

You statically link if the library name is known at link time and the functions you need to call are also known at link time.

Otherwise, you detemine the library name at run time, load it, determine the function to call and call it using suitable DLL procedures.
