Do you speak about libwps itself here, or about its build inside libreoffice? By the reference to msvc I assume the latter... In that case, libwps is not being built using its native build mechanism on Windows, because that currently cannot produce a shared library! The patch I attached switches the libwps build to the native build mechanism, so it can be used for experimentation. > I have a > patch to enable it, but, as you note, it still defaults to static linking.

The libraries in question are already built as shared on all platforms. The libraries' native build mechanism (IOW, configure + make) is used on Linux and OS X. It is only Windows that needs special treatment (and the idea of this task is to try to change that). > > But not with the rest. > > You mean only with some projects? Not sure I get your point here. I do not agree that there is any need to patch configure or Makefiles. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
