[wxlua-users] Building with static runtime libs

[Leslie N. <les...@fm...>]

Hi,

I am trying to build wxLua with static runtime libs using VS2005. I want 
to use static libs because I have had a number of issues distributing 
the runtime libs (vcredist_x86.exe).

If I set RUNTIME_LIBS = static in makefile.vc then the compiler command 
line ends up with /M instead of /MT. Looking at 
wxlua/apps/build/msw/makefile.vc and /modules/build/makefile.vc I see 
the following lines:
!if "$(RUNTIME_LIBS)" == "static"
__RUNTIME_LIBS_11 = $(__THREADING)
!endif

It appears that __THREADING is not defined anywhere. Changing each 
occurrence of this to :

!if "$(RUNTIME_LIBS)" == "static"
__RUNTIME_LIBS_11 = T
!endif

causes the correct /MT switch to be output but I still get errors like 
the following when it tries to link lua.exe:
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCR80.dll) : error LNK2005: _strchr already defined in 
LIBCMT.lib(strchr.obj)
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCR80.dll) : error LNK2005: __errno already defined in 
LIBCMT.lib(dosmap.obj)
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCR80.dll) : error LNK2005: _fclose already defined in 
LIBCMT.lib(fclose.obj)

It looks like for some reason it is trying to link to both the static 
and runtime libs at the same time.
