Modify glib port to use 2.58.3 with patches for static lib

[zcream]

I have patches for glib 2.58.3 that have worked previously for a static build. I have modified portfile.cmake to incorporate these patches.
I am stuck at the error

scripts/cmake/vcpkg_configure_cmake.cmake:299 (vcpkg_execute_required_process)
ports/glib/portfile.cmake:38 (vcpkg_configure_cmake)
scripts/ports.cmake:73 (include)

I need to pass these pre-processor defines to the glib sources.
GLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION=1 G_INTL_STATIC_COMPILATION=1

I cannot figure out how to do that.

Please attach the C:\Users\Administrator\vcpkg\buildtrees\glib\config-x86-windows-static-out.log so we can see what errors are being produced and may be able to assist further.

I was able to use the patches offered by magicfoo https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pull/9031/files# in order to do a static build of the current 2.52.3 version.
I have deleted the 2.58.3 and no longer have that. However, I would recommend integrating the magicfoo patches in the current build.

Glib cannot be built as a static lib in vcpkg. Please refer to the comments here #9031 (comment).

I tried building a static glib version today. Got this error:

However, I know I have successfully built glib as static library by hand before, and there are even patches that allow this (like the one here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/692)

It would be great to have one of those patches in vcpkg

Thanks for everyone joining the discussion. Since it's duplicated to #3409, let's track this issue there.
