Funny. My post is shown as pending in the account and doesn't seems to be synced to the mail list. Anyway. I figure out the problem. All the dependent libraries actually come with OS X 10.6. Also Xcode has this nasty habit of always using dynamic libs if it finds one, even when a static .a file is specified. So uninstalling all MacPort parts and rebuilding ActiveMQ-CPP with --enable-shared=false created a static lib that references only system libs. Unfortunately, this is not the end of my problem. The static lib links OK. I tested with some sample code in my project and it also works. However, when building with Xcode Release mode, it ends with linker error complaining bad codegen and wrong offsets. I have to turn code optimization completely off (-O0) to make it link. This is beyond frustrating... -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Static-link-ActiveMQ-CPP-on-Mac-OS-X-tp3986182p3997445.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
