For "regular" libs we seem to have:
%{mingw32_bindir}/libexample-0.dll
%{mingw32_libdir}/libexample.dll.a
and for static libs:
%{mingw32_libdir}/libexample.a
so for example:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 7539008 Apr 11 18:00
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/Qt5Gui.dll
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13373318 Apr 11 18:00
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libQt5Gui.a
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6699310 Apr 11 18:00
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libQt5Gui.dll.a
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/Qt5Gui.dll: PE32 executable (DLL) (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, 12 sections
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libQt5Gui.dll.a: current ar archive /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libQt5Gui.a: current ar archiveFrom what I've gleaned from some web searches is that the .dll.a file is an "import" library which seems to encode a dependency on the .dll library at runtime, while the plain .a file is a more "normal" static library.
So to link a static executable it looks like I want to be using libQt5Gui.a. However, when attempting to build the x2goclient executable I'm ending up with the following link line:
i686-w64-mingw32-g++ -g -fstack-protector -static -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -Wl,-subsystem,windows -mthreads -o release/x2goclient.exe @object_script.x2goclient.Release -lssh.dll -lwinspool /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libQt5Svg.dll.a /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libQt5Widgets.dll.a /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libQt5Gui.dll.a -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -loleaut32 -limm32 -luxtheme -ljpeg -lpng -lharfbuzz /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libQt5Network.dll.a -lcrypt32 -ldnsapi -liphlpapi /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libQt5Core.dll.a -lz -lpcre2-16 -lversion -lole32 -luuid -lwinmm -lws2_32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32 -lnetapi32 -luserenv -liconv release/x2goclient_res.o -lmingw32 /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libqt5main.a -lshell32
with lots of references to the .dll.a files. And from what I can tell, the x2goclient.exe executable does appear to have runtime dependencies on the various Qt dlls (e.g. Qt5Gui.dll, etc.).
I’m specifying a static config to qmake and QT is specified in the x2goclient.pro simply with:
QT += svg networkSo I really have no idea where the .dll.a references are coming from. Some possibilities:
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/Qt5Widgets.prl: QMAKE_PRL_TARGET = libQt5Widgets.dll.a $ rpm -qf /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/Qt5Widgets.prl mingw32-qt5-qtbase-static-5.15.9-1.fc39.noarchso that file is coming in as part of the -static package, but referring to the dll import file not the static file. But I'm not finding similar files for the other libraries.
I'm starting to think that the issue is that both the static and shared builds of the libraries produce .prl files - but generally the static build is installed first and then the shared build, so the .prl files that are in the Fedora packages are for the shared libraries since they have the same path.
So - is there a way for the static .prl files to be installed in a different location for for qmake find them there?
