Well, the problem (if you can call it that) is that you don't get a hint of whats causing the error(in my case anyway). If you can solve that somehow then that'd be great.
I quite like how you can choose between a dll or including the units yourself. To be honest it is one of the downsides of PyroGine, where you are forced to use the (imo bloated) dll.
Maybe more hints in a log file would be cool. Having no DLL is great advantage since with SDL engine you need to carry 3 or 6 libraries.
There is one minus that when you use static linking you must release the ugly source code. Well if I am right about LGPL licence.

Yes, you are right, and this is the only thing which I "ask for" in return for a lot of my open source codeOriginally Posted by gintasdx
But as author I can make an exception for someone

How does one use the dll anyway? I haven't seen it in the zengl archive. And when I remove the {Define static} it gives an error. (error while loading zengl)
Because compilers are different(Delphi 2009+ wants 2-byte char's in type String) I dont provide dll in archive(also everyone can configure functionality of dll), you must build it by yourself. Go to src directory and open Delphi/Lazarus directory, there are project files for this IDE's. All this process is explained on google-wiki. Then put compiled dll inside bin/i386 or bin/x86_64, and you will be able to start demos which was compiled without define STATIC.
