static linking

[xiaolonghe7]

Hi, I try to compile a program (in VS without Cmake) that is statically linked to the geogram library in a Windows platform, but got following compilation errors. It seems that they are related to the complication settings, but I could not figure out where goes wrong. Do you have any ideas about these errors? I appreciate your time and help! Thank you very much!

I'd recommend using CMake and the CMakefiles included in geogram (then you can generate static libraries, it is the default).

Hi, It is difficult for me to help with just this information, Would you provide a minimal example that has the problem ? (See #90 and its attached minimal example for an example).

Hi, thank you for your reply. The issue has been resolved.

Thanks ! I am closing the issue then. Do not hesitate to re-open it (or another one) if you encounter other difficulties.
