Static library? #23

Closed adrientetar closed 8 years ago

adrientetar commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to have possibility to compile booleanOperations as static lib, which makes things easier for dist.

AFAIK Python extension modules must be shared libraries (the interpreter dynamically loads them at runtime). booleanOperation is a package that mixes Python and C++. You can compile a static library of the C++ clipper module, but you won't be able to use it from Python. What's the problem with the shared library? What are you trying to statically link it with?

I am building with pyqtdeploy and Qt qmake and I get an ImportError even though I include the .so in the package along with the source files... maybe I need to investigate further.

Embedding is working fine for years already with py2app, I assume it is not so different how packages get zipped and embedded into an app

Closing until I find out more.
