Support static builds for Visual Studio #91
Conversation

Hi, For records:
With blessings, and cheers! |
We need different defines/cflags for building static and shared builds of libsigc++, so we can't really support default_library = 'both' for libsigc++ without much retinkering. So, just disallow such builds at least for now. Also, save up whether we are attempting a static build in the Visual Studio build.
...and add a new check macro LIBSIGCXX_STATIC, to use the appropriate macros to build and link against libsigc++. Drop this from the build files as well.
Apply -DLIBSIGCXX_STATIC as appropriate when we request a static build to be done for the Meson and NMake builds, and skip building the version .rc file if a static build is requested. For the NMake builds, separate the build artifacts from the static and shared builds. The CMake builds are not updated here as it always assumes a shared build, nor are the autotools builds since it is not used for Visual Studio builds at all.
Copy the built DLL and PDB only if building a shared build, and copy the appropriate .lib file according to the build type.
Update the Meson build files to put in -DLIBSIGCXX_STATIC when we are building a static build of libsigc++. For the CMake and autotools build, this is not used.

If you still have permission to merge to libsigcplusplus, please do. Can static builds be supported also for libsigc++2 (branch libsigc++-2-12)? |

Hi @kjellahl, Sadly, I don't have the permissions... The PR for libsigc++-2.x is done in #92 (sorry, I forgot to make the title there clearer)-but like you said, the libxml++ don't support static builds due to glibmm, but anyways, for completeness sake I added support for libsigc++-2.x. With blessings, than you! |
Hi,
This attempts to address issue #90 by supporting static builds of libsigc++, where:
LIBSIGXX_STATICin the sigc++config.h.* files, to check whether we are going to use a static MSVC build.-Ddefault_library=bothis explicitly not supported). The generated .pc file from static Visual Studio builds will define-DLIBSIGCXX_STATICin theCXXFLAGS-DLIBSIGCXX_STATICis required if attempting to build against a static libsigc++ build.Fixes issue #90.
With blessings, thank you!
