Hi Arjen
Sorry, the phrase "static linkage" clearly has different meanings depending
upon who uses it.
When I refer to static linkage I don't mean creating .lib files rather than
.dll files I mean linking against the static runtime libraries (/MT and /MTd
compiler options or runtime library under project properties, C/C++, Code
Generation.
Sorry if I'm teaching my granny to suck eggs, but these options mean I can copy
an exe file to any other windows PC and run it. Otherwise the PC needs the
visual studio runtime installed. If I try to create a statically linked exe,
but link to a dynamically linked library (using the definition above) then the
linker generates loads of errors because it gets conflicts between the two
runtime environments.
In theory I should just need to add /MT or /MTd to the compiler flag as Alan
mentioned earlier in the thread, but this didn't seem to work for some reason
(it worked fine for setting unicode). Hence the patch.

Hi Phil, Alan,
just tested this on Windows, using MS VC/C++ 2008 and GCC (MinGW)
with CMake 2.8.7:
With the option BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF, the build process results
in static libraries (for PLplot, csirocsa and qsastime, the default
libraries that are usually built on my system).
The only dynamic libraries left are the runtime libraries that
come from the compiler.
So it is not necessary to apply Phil's patch anymore. (The problems
may have been due to some bug/quirk in older CMake versions.)
Regards,
Arjen

Just to share some experience, I am trying to port to Windows the
Fortran interface to shapelib and gdal (fortrangis.berlios.de) and I
succeeded with GNU compilers under mingw linking to the OSGEO4W install,
despite the difficulties of sticking to an autoconf build system; I
don't know how it would be with MS compilers. Anyway shapelib has no
dependencies so I agree that an independent solution will be suitable as
well.

Subject: [Plplot-devel] Using gcj-4.7-jdk on Debian wheezy fails with
PLplot
To: Andrew Ross <andrewr...@users.sourceforge.net>, PLplot
development list <Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>
Message-ID: <alpine.deb.2.02.1210021138510.2...@enira.zlyna.ubzr>
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; format=flowed; charset=US-ASCII
Debian wheezy has a huge number of different java choices so I thought
I should briefly document the particular choices I made which
lead to the error below.
I installed the gcj-4.7-jdk package which seemed to suck in everything
else that is needed via the large number of package dependencies for
that package. However, CMake needs help finding the peculiar location
of the headers and libraries that this package uses. So before
running cmake in an initially empty build tree I had to set the
following environment variables:
export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/include
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gcj-4.7-13
After that, running cmake seemed to work fine to find all java
components, and the java bindings were built without any
obvious issues. However, when trying to compile the examples,
I ran into the following peculiar error:
software@raven> make x01j
[ 0%] Built target plhershey-unicode-gen
[ 0%] Built target plhershey-unicode.h_built
[ 0%] Built target csirocsa

gcj-4.7: error: utf8: No such file or directory
and similarly for any of our other Java examples.
@Andrew:
I believe you have had success with Java on Debian unstable. What do
you do that is different from what I did above? Can you also confirm
the above issue on Debian unstable for the Java package selection
(gcj-4.7-jdk) that I made? Is there something else I should install
as well to get that to work? When I did a google search for the above
error message there were only a few hits, but they appeared to be
quite significant because they were associated with Debian package
builds which also appear to be running into this same gcj error.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me with this error.
Alan
