Hi Jón,
I was wonder if I could easily build a static version of ECL on windows
to link into other C++ projects without having to ship the ECL.dll with it.
There is a "ecl-static.lib" recipe in the Makefile in the ./msvc folder
which I can build after having built "all", but when linking that into
an application that does nothing but call cl_boot() the linker (VS2015)
complains with
LNK2019unresolved external symbol __imp__cl_boot referenced in function
_main
The Makefile recipe is correct, however linking to the library it
creates is a bit tricky and requires additional flags and system
libraries to be added to the command line. For example
cl /Fe:test.exe /I C:\path\to\ecl\installation /DECL_API /MD test.c
ecl-static.lib user32.lib ws2_32.lib shell32.lib
if you have compiled without the ECL_DEBUG option active (for
compilation with this option active, replacing /MD by /MDd should work).
Best regards,
Marius Gerbershagen
