When using static libs this means relinking them as well and the whole process takes a few minutes, rather than the few seconds to build one example. I agree "a few minutes" is clearly not acceptable in a development environment where you don't want to wait that long before you try your next code changes. (I can whittle that down to 5 seconds here for the shared library + dynamic devices case if I use the options -DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON -DPLD_wxwidgets=ON -DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON -DENABLE_cxx=ON -DENABLE_wxwidgets=ON, but you might not be able to do that well there for the static case and with your different compiler and linker, and in any case even 5 seconds is a bit much). Therefore, to deal with your special testing needs, I would be willing to define a bunch of custom test targets called test_x00c_wxPLViewer,..., test_x33c_wxPLViewer which depended on wxwidgets, wxPLViewer and the relevant C standard example and which would run, e.g., examples/c/x00c -dev wxwidgets For the "00" case, and similarly for the rest of our standard examples. The above command has been expressed in Linux terms, but CMake allows you to run that command in a way that should work on all platforms. So the end result should be you would click on one of test_x00c_wxPLViewer,..., test_x33c_wxPLViewer buttons in your IDE, all prerequisites would be rebuilt, and the relevant example would be run with -dev wxwidgets. If that idea would work for you, let me know, and I will put it on my post-release ToDo list. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
