Hi All,

FYI: I had to make 1 change to the CMakeLists.txt file for huskylib to be able to compile htick on my new system:

=========================================================================== diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt

endif (MSVC)

message("-------------------------") ===========================================================================

Otherwise I get linker errors when compiling smapi (and probably the other modules too):

Hello Wilfred!

It now states:
$ cmake -H. -Bbuild -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF

Since i had trouble to move an exsiting config to an upgraded
system i prefer the static method for my fidonet software.

The INSTALL.md's for the different modules shouldn't conflict with
each other!

Sorry, i do agree absolutly. My intention was a pointer into a failsafe default configuration. ;-)

For todays fidonet software i would like to see a "will continue operartion in the future regardless what changes to the system libs will come". This would give users the chance to operate the software even if there is noboby there who could do modifications for a successful re-compilation.
But back to your topic.

I'm irritated about that compilation command. Within my outdated source copy there is a huskymak.cfg as a central point for compilation configuration. All husky modules Makefiles here do refer with include ../huskymak.cfg or other paths. That would include $DYNLIBS that will trigger the -static compilation if set in huskymak.cfg.

This maybe outdated because of 2012:
[...]
DYNLIBS=1
EXENAMEFLAG=-o
WARNFLAGS=-Wall
ARCH=-m32
OPTCFLAGS=-c -s -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -fstrength-reduce -fPIC $(ARCH)
ifeq ($(DYNLIBS), 0)
ifeq ($(OSTYPE), UNIX)
WARNFLAGS+= -static
OPTCFLAGS+= -static
endif
endif
[...]

And the only cmake reference in my source is of bscmake.exe.

Regards

Kai
