Title: Static linking
Post by: dnaxx on January 03, 2008, 08:41:01 pm

Hello!
Is it possible to configure Code::Blocks in such a way, that external libraries are linked statically?
I'm using the current version of code::blocks under Ubuntu 7.10 and gcc.

Regards,

What do you know, I was just wondering that!

Build the Library as static and Code::Blocks will link it as static, if given the right options; this assumes the compiler you are using supports static (I think all compilers support static, but might be wrong).
Note, Code::Blocks plug-ins are required to not be static by design; else, you could not enable/disable at run-time.
