[Win32] Building a statically linked Glib-1.324



Hi,

Since MSYS2 has provided me with static (as well as import) libraries, I was wondering whether there was a way to build Glib-1.324 against those static libraries.

I gave it a try, and the EXTRALIBS entry in the generated Makefile indicates that only static MSYS2 libraries were used:

EXTRALIBS="C:\_64\msys64\mingw64\lib\libgobject-2.0.a" "C:\_64\msys64\mingw64\lib\libglib-2.0.a" "C:\_64\msys64\mingw64\lib\libintl.a" "C:\_64\msys64\mingw64\lib\libgthread-2.0.a" .... followed by standard windows libraries.

I understand that's not the full list of static libs needed for linking to static libraries, and there were undefined references to libpcre and libffi symbols.
But there were also undefined references to dynamic symbols like:

Glib.o:Glib.c:(.text+0x159d): undefined reference to `__imp_glib_major_version' Glib.o:Glib.c:(.text+0x15d3): undefined reference to `__imp_glib_minor_version' Glib.o:Glib.c:(.text+0x15e1): undefined reference to `__imp_glib_micro_version' Glib.o:Glib.c:(.text+0x161d): undefined reference to `__imp_glib_micro_version' Glib.o:Glib.c:(.text+0x1633): undefined reference to `__imp_glib_minor_version'

Is there some symbol I need to define in order build Glib statically linked to libglib ?

There's a bit of dll hell happening, and I'm curious to see whether static builds of Glib, Cairo and Pango perl modules might improve things.
Or would that merely replace one kind of hell with another ?

Cheers,
Rob
