Issue Linking static lib in Windows
Closed this issue · 3 comments
It doesn't matter if I am building for Win32 or 64, when I link against the static lib I am seeing the following errors and warnings and was just curious if this is a know issue or not.

Hi @sbonar , the static library is argtable3_static.lib, not argtable3.lib. Please try to link against argtable3_static.lib and see if you still have the same issue. Thanks.
I understand. I'm renaming it when I move it to my build just because that is what it is expecting.
However I did find the issue after searching the web. I don't know if this is a CMake issue on my end or if it needs to be fixed. The VS properties for compiling a the static library had the runtime Library option set to /MD (or /MDd for Debug) which is the DLL Runtime Library and when I changed it to /MT (or MTd for Debug) which is non-DLL Runtime Library my other project that I am linking argtable3 with compile successfully.
Like I said this could just be a difference between the two projects or it might be something that needs to be changed in the CMake files.
