RE: How to link to static libraries

Vlad:

Sorry, but all references to any static library must be static in all
projects in order to pull this off.  (i.e. you should only need to
statically compile libCtilMgr and SNACC includes for CML; libCtilMgr and
SNACC includes also for the ACL if you leave CML and ACL libs dynamic).
You would either have to re-build the CML and ACL with static SNACC
references AND/OR make the entire CML and ACL projects static as well.
This is not as easy as I had at first thought it would be.  These
projects have not been kept up-to-date; I am surprised that you were
able to successfully build the SFL libs.

You are certainly welcome to build new CML and ACL projects, follow the
pattern for libCertSTATIC for the internal SNACC API overrides.  The
unresolved SNACC references are a worry, you are probably linking to an
older SNACC binary, not matching the SFL compiled includes.  None of
these libraries have been tested for release 2.1 (they are not part of
the smp.dsw).

We do not directly support static links to our libraries.  If you REALLY
MUST have these libraries, I can talk to John to see if we will continue
to support for static libraries.  If he approves, I can spend some time
to re-build/re-link an application and send you a snapshot of our next
release; it will take a couple of weeks.

Subject: How to link to static libraries



Hi All!

I tried to build my own DLL using static SFL libraries in MSVS6 (with
SP4).
I added to project following static libs:
  smime/smime/lib/libsmdSTATIC.lib 
  smime/smime/lib/libCertSTATIC.lib 
  smime/smime/lib/libCtilMgrSTATIC.lib 
  smime/SMPDist/esnacc/c++/lib/cppasn1_static.lib 
  smime/cml/lib/cmlasnSTATIC.lib 

and non-static libs:
  smime/SMPDist/cml/lib/srlapi.lib 
  smime/SMPDist/cml/lib/cmapi.lib
  ldap/lib/nsldap32v50.lib

With
LIBCTILMGRDLL_API="",SNACCDLL_API="",VDASNACCDLL_API="",EXPORT_GENSNACC=
"",CMLASN_API="" defined these errors don't go away.

Can somebody tell me how to build an application with these static
libraries used?

Thank you.
