Had the same issue trying to use Fluidsynth statically. It says in the comments that Glib requires DLLMain to function so I guess that is the reason.

sykhro · 2018-06-13T20:30:15Z

I'm running into the same issue when trying to build qt5-base. This is kind of a problem, since Qt can be built statically.

pravog · 2018-06-29T06:25:23Z

Is there any detailed explanations what it is all about? Why so many libraries stuck from being statically build because of some weirdness?
Moreover it is said that "Glib only supports dynamic library and crt linkage" ... I do not see direct connection between crt linkage and using of DllMain

stekyne · 2018-07-31T21:16:59Z

This is a real pain point. Anybody with more information?

sykhro · 2018-08-01T06:28:26Z

Nothing really. I'll look into the build details when I have time and submit a PR for it

stekyne · 2018-08-07T10:58:18Z

The symbols: GLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION and GOBJECT_STATIC_COMPILATION seem to allow this?

olilarkin · 2018-10-22T20:07:24Z

any news from anyone? i have tried and failed to fix this

sykhro · 2018-10-22T20:19:54Z

I have tried but entered an endless rabbit hole, too many dependencies. Also gave up because other builds broke randomly.

it definitely worked in the past

GLib doesn't support static build for Windows. See more information here:

stekyne · 2019-11-26T13:34:32Z

Should it fail the build though? I've seen other times it will force dynamic linking instead and continue. For instance, if you want to build a static version of fluidsynth i.e. fluidsynth:x64-windows-static. Glib is a dependency so it will try to build statically but fail due to the error above. Should it not continue but use it dynamically and the rest statically? Otherwise you need to create a custom triplet, which is a bit of a pain.

JackBoosY · 2019-11-29T03:20:28Z

@stekyne To build glib as a static library and link using a static CRT, we will get a Dllmain error:

gobject-2.0.lib(gtype.c.obj) : error LNK2005: DllMain already defined in glib-2.0.lib(glib-init.c.obj)

So we need to solve this first.

ping

JackBoosY · 2020-12-08T09:56:23Z

@proTerm Since the official does not provide a method to build static in windows, and function dllmain does exist in these two libraries, can you accept that tools cannot be built in static?

Note to me: glib and gobject should be installed to the manual-link folder.

proTerm · 2020-12-23T13:01:56Z

can you accept that tools cannot be built in static?

I hope that a solution would be found.

@JackBoosY and @NancyLi1013
Has the bug been fixed? Because Im still getting an error?

This is not a bug, GLib doesn't support static linking on Windows yet. There's a merge request upstream but GLib doesn't have many Windows maintainers, so it's just sitting there going stale

proTerm · 2021-05-08T08:17:55Z

This is not a bug,

Its not a bug, its a feature ;)

For a moment I had thought, this issue has been resolved ... (On the other hand, its such a pity that this issue is not being prioritized by the vcpkg team).

Thanks for the answer!

sykhro · 2021-05-08T08:30:23Z

I mean, the vcpkg team can't do anything about this. GLib just doesn't work when linked statically, it has to be fixed upstream

proTerm · 2021-05-24T10:10:54Z

@JackBoosY Im surprised you closed the issue, although it would never be resolved ... ?

JackBoosY · 2021-05-25T01:30:00Z

@proTerm As you can see, the upstream doesn't support static build for such a long time.
And some contributors are trying to support static but waiting for the upstream approval.

And I will keeping my PR #16980 to track this issue.
