Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] where is BUILD_STATIC defined

[Hansni Liu]

I'm building a DLL with cross MinGW to be used by a program built with MSVC. I want the DLL to depend as little as possible on other DLLs, such as intl, libgcc. It seems that I cannot build the DLL with static libintl in the static toolchain.

BTW: are you going to port the ldd tool to check the dependency of DLLs?

Thanks for the great work of MXE.

Thanks for you kind response.

So it builds static library for static toolchain, eg. x86_64-w64-mingw32.static.

Is that possible to build shared library with static toolchain by modifying the line mentioned above?

Not at the moment, you would have to go the other way and start with a shared toolchain to build static libraries (though it would be a lot of manual fiddling).

What are you trying to do? There are plans to support building a common toolchain that is used to build either shared or static libs [1].

Cheers,
