Hi all,
It seems I've been fighting with static qt the whole night. I still haven't
managed to compile it statically. The official script for static qt
compilation on windows does not work, of course. And manual compiling with
mingw32-make fails for no sensible reason... I sometimes feel like they
make things complicated on purpose.
Namik just pushed a version which allows to also build it dynamically. Will

Unfortunately, it didn't work out the way I thought it would. I still don't
know what's the proper way to dynamically link libarchive with CMake. In
QMake it works just fine by specifying -llibarchive...
We will have to make sure Windows finds these dlls, which is cumbersome...

Copying dll files is the simplest solution. And it shouldn't be too
complicated, if only dynamic linking worked...
1.) Boost: Namik, can you please remove all use of Boost (sources plus

I tried removing Boost usage some time ago, but failed since sparse
benchmark heavily depends on Boost. I couldn't manage to make it work by
replacing Boost ublas with ViennaCL linalg functions.
We still need the IO for benchmarking with MatrixMarket files, right?
3.) libarchive+zlib: It seems like in the current build setup the zlib is

Libarchive will use zlib if ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR and ZLIB_LIBRARY variables are
defined. ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR would be the source code in
projectSourceFolder/external/zlib and ZLIB_LIBRARY would be the generated
zlib library in the projectBuildFolder/external/zlib. I couldn't test this
as I haven't managed to compile with CMake yet.
Regards, Namik
