I do statically link png, freetype and zlib for win32 so that users don't have to install any of those prereqs.
Thanks John, I have a plan now.
I have a question, however. How do I get distutils to statically link a given lib? the only method I have now is to make sure that only the static lib is available. I can do that (for the moment) with libpng, but for freetype, I have a problem. In setupext.py, there is:
basedir = { 'darwin' : ['/usr/local', '/usr', '/sw', '/usr/X11R6'], }
There is a libfreetype in /usr/X11R6, but only if X11 is installed, so I don't want to use it. However, I imagine that /usr/X11R6 is required to the GTK build, so I can't take that out. Any ideas?
I notice that for win32, you have only:
basedir = { 'win32' : ['win32_static',],
Should I do that for darwin, and put my static libs in there?
I'm off to try some of this.
