[Mingw-cross-env-list] Gtk static linking

[Martin Gerhardy]

Hi,

just asking if anyone has ever gotten a bigger gtk program to work when
linked statically. i've found some articles that say that static linking
is not possible with gtk (or better, will cause trouble at places where
you would not expect them to occur).

maybe there should be an option to build it statically or dynamically? i
know that the guideline for mingw-cross-env is to build everything
statically linked, but i don't know whether this is a good idea for gtk
and related libs. people i've asked are more or less all saying the same
- bundle a gtk installation with your installer and don't try to link
statically. any suggestions, thoughts or ideas about this?

greetings
Martin
