Good. Just maybe some lines in the documentation for anyone who might want to build the static library, for whatever reason.<span id="ms-outlook-android-cursor"></span><br>

<div class="PlainText">Dear Dune users,<br>

<br>

when we wrote the current CMake-based build system to replace Autotools,<br>

we were asked to mimic as many features from Autotools as possible.<br>

Now, after we got rid of Autotools and also the way writing CMake has<br>

changed ("modern CMake"), we are planning to overhaul the build system,<br>

make it more modern CMake and less Autotoolish / less Dune-specific.<br>

<br>

That's why Simon and myself are proposing to remove options<br>

DUNE_BUILD_BOTH_LIBS and DUNE_USE_ONLY_STATIC_LIBS, cf. dune-common!858.<br>

<a href="https://gitlab.dune-project.org/core/dune-common/-/merge_requests/858">https://gitlab.dune-project.org/core/dune-common/-/merge_requests/858</a><br>

<br>

Details<br>

There is hardly any use-case for building both, shared and static<br>

libraries, at the same time. It just complicates the whole CMake<br>

structure. Additionally, the option DUNE_USE_ONLY_STATIC_LIBS is a hack<br>

in the CMake automatic find-library and linkage procedure.<br>

<br>

If both types of libraries are required, we propose to have two build<br>

directories and build them separately.<br>

<br>

Bye<br>

Christoph<br>
