IANAL, but if the library machine code is part of the distribution, you have to distribute the library source code at least upon request. Static linking additionally means that it must be possible to relink the application with a modified library, i.e. either source code or linkable object files for the app using it have to be provided. For MSYS2, all LGPL dependencies would have to be manually recompiled by downloading their PKGBUILDs and running makepkg for each package to get its source. I thought that if it compiles from source by default anyway, it is perhaps easier to distribute source code. I haven't tried MXE yet though. I will try it and see. I'd like to have one standard GTK+ installer for the GTK+ DLLs etc. that can be downloaded and installed from other installers, so there is just one GTK+ installed on Windows instead of one copy of perhaps different versions of GTK+ for each application. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
