[ITK-users] Link ITK libraries statically

[Gib Bogle]

Hi Brad,

Maybe it does, but not the way I'm doing it.  I am building with Qt Creator.  In CMakeLists.txt I have:
OPTION(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "Build package with shared libraries." OFF)
and in CMakeCache.txt I see:
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF
but the executable is still built using all shared libraries.

I also set
OPTION(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-static")
but this seems to have no effect as well.

Is this something to do with Qt Creator, which under the hood uses qmake?

Thanks
Gib

Hello,

Does the CMake variable BUILD_SHARED_LIBS meet your needs?

I am using cmake and VS2010 to build an ITK application on Windows (also using Qt, but that is not relevant I think).  I want to give the executable to a colleague, but I'd rather not have to transfer the 16 ITK DLLs as well.  Is there a way to build my application so that the ITK libraries are linked statically?
A related question: I am using ITK in this program only to read and write tiff images.  Is there a way to limit the libraries that are linked to just those that are needed?

Thanks
Gib
