Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] OpenCSG again

[Brad Pitcher]

Sweet! It works great now. I just have a couple other questions for you guys related to this static/dynamic stuff.
I have a couple more packages I'm working on so I need to know how to do this same technique with them.

First, I have a cmake built library (libCGAL) that I want to make sure I'm building statically. If I just use the provided toolchain file:
cmake ... -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/where mingw-cross-env is installed/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/share/cmake/mingw-cross-env-conf.cmake


Is that enough to make a static build, or is there anything else that needs to be modified.
Also, are those *_STATIC definitions automatically available for use?
In other words, if I just statically build libCGAL and install the *.a files, can I then add a DEFINES += CGAL_STATIC in order 


to use the library in another program? Or is there something else that needs to be done first?
Thanks again guys,
Brad

It seems freeglut is the culprit here, it wasn't being built
statically in the first place. I've added a test program for both this
and glew:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/rev/df85f59a791d
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/rev/cad00a9e1f6d

Fortunately, glew has a pkg-config entry, but something like this:

-lglut -lglu32 -lopengl32 -lwinmm -lgdi32 -mwindows -DFREEGLUT_STATIC

from the test program works for freeglut.

Cheers,

Tony
