Static linking

[Hideo]

Is it possible to link everything static? I mean I have only CEGUI.dll in solution dir and nothing else.

Hi,

It's possible to statically link everything to your application executable - so you just have the executable and no DLL files at all. I don't think it's possible to bundle the entire CEGUI content into a single DLL, though.

I tried to use "_static" versions of provided libraries but I get ton of nasty linker errors:

[CrazyEddie]

The first warning seems to indicate a debug / release mode mismatch on the runtime in use. You must link the versions of the lib with the _d suffix for debug builds and the versions without the suffix for release builds.

The actual errors are because you have to additionally link the dependency libraries themselves when statically linking. This has been covered a few times on the forum already.
