Meson build does not produce .a files
It looks like since the move to Meson we no longer have the ability to build gtk static libraries (.a
files) in both gtk3 and master
.
This was supported well in the autotools build (see here, search for --enable-static
).
Meson is also great at building static libraries using the standard -Ddefault_library=static
flag, but it doesn't currently work for gtk because gtk/meson.build
hardcodes shared_library()
instead of using the standard library()
, thus ignoring the user's flag.
