ZeroLink is cool, but in practice doesn't work so well. The reason you get the errors is because ZeroLink links at runtime. For example, if you forgot to load a library into your application, and it just happens to be loaded by the OS, your program will work fine and use the existing copy of the library, but when you link your program(including all the external libraries) without ZeroLink, it checks for these external libraries.
This is why ZeroLink is very bad to use for development; it creates an unstable platform; you don't know what libraries will be loaded on the computer running it, and when it's time to do a deployment build, you may find yourself with hundreds of errors due to missing dependencies.

about zero link and yet again I have a question.
I was stumped by a zero link error so I turned zero link off and got
a half-dozen other errors on my project -- more then I expected.
Yes, I do admit this is the first time I turned off zero link on this
particular set of code but still. All the errors were justified but
I was surprised that I needed to disable zero link to see them.
Errors like multiple defined variables and functions (I as gluing two
different systems together) were the bulk of the problems.
So, is it true that if you are using debug and zero link enabled that
such valuable information on your project build is ignored? If this
is the case, I doubt I will use zero link very much at all. Or, is
there some other setting I should be using? I mean, I can see the
advantage of not linking some procedure that has not been written yet
(and, not being actively used) but the idea of ignoring other errors
such as multiple defines seems to be a big disadvantage.
