Problems compiling with static library #86

Closed njbradley closed 3 years ago

njbradley commented 3 years ago

Hi all, I build your library recently and it has worked very well, however, I have not been able to compile any of my programs with the static library. Whenever I try to link my program to the static lib, the linker spits out pages and pages of errors, all undefined reference to various functions.

I built the library with these commands:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=mingw32-make -G"Unix Makefiles"
mingw32-make
ctest

Everything seems to work fine, all of the tests run perfect. I then move the libplibsys.dll.a and libplibsysstatic.a into the lib folder of mingw. However, when I try to compile my code with the static library, it breaks

When I run this command, it compiles and runs smoothly: g++ test.cc -o test.exe -std=c++11 -lplibsys However this command does not work: g++ test.cc -o test.exe -std=c++11 -lplibsysstatic Here are the first couple lines of the error, but it goes on for pages and pages. If it would be useful I can post the whole error message, but from what I can see, it looks like the functions in psocket.c are not able to find any other function.

Is there some command line option that I missed either in the building or compiling steps? I looked around but couldn't find any instructions on how to compile statically. Any help would be appreciated!

Ah, I found the problem, I wasn't linking with the library Ws2_32. I added -lWs2_32 to the compiling and it worked great!
