Static linking

[Laurens]

Hi,

 

Last night I have been playing around to get CEGUI linked statically so I can get rid of all the DLL's in the working directory. I have it compiling and running just fine right now but there is one thing I worry about.

 

I have changed the Code Generator from Multithreaded Debug DLL to Multithreaded Debug and I have the linker include the following dependencies:

 

CEGUI and dependencies:

 

- CEGUIBase_Static_d.lib

- CEGUIOpenGLRenderer_Static_d.lib

- CEGUITGAImageCodec_Static_d.lib

- CEGUIExpatParser_Static_d.lib

- CEGUIFalagardWRBase_Static_d.lib

- expat_d.lib

- freetype_d.lib

- libpng_d.lib

- jpeg_d.lib

- zlib_d.lib

- pcre_d.lib

- winmm.lib

 

Other required libraries:

 

- opengl32.lib

- glu32.lib

 

It's fine that it is statically linking CEGUI and its dependencies but I doubt I need to statically link opengl32.lib and glu32.lib.

 

Is this a problem or if not a problem, unwanted? Is there any way I can tell Visual Studio to exclude these from static linking?

 

Thanks!
