[Libvncserver-common] Cannot build libvncserver/libvncclient as static libraries

[Beef T. <bee...@ma...>]

Hello, i'm having trouble building the static libraries from source. I use Debian 9 os, and Cmake-Gui

Fi


Here is what i do, first i tried to use the option:

BUILD_STATIC_LIBS ON
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF

But this seems to have no effect! I still get the *.so files in result, so i manually openeded advanced options, and changed all dependencies to *.a,
and added -static flag to the linker options:

After i do cmake --build . i get the following:

[ 43%] Building C object CMakeFiles/vncserver.dir/libvncserver/rfbcrypto_gnutls.c.o

As you can see it says: [ 44%] Built target vncserver , but no libvncserver.a file is created in the build directory, only *.so which is shared library. How can i force the config to build static versions? BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF seems to have no effect, and manual approach with linker fails too
