Subject: Building a library as both static and dynamic
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2020 07:57:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5F6328DA-112E-45F9-B6F0-2132E43A6BB0@greghogan.com> (raw)

Is there a best practice or example for building a library twice, both static and dynamic? I submitted patch #43620, and in working on another library have the same issue. These are cmake builds with a parameter declaration for either a static or dynamic build, not both. I would like to create a single package with both “out” and “static” outputs, which looks to be standard across Guix.

One idea is to run the configure / make / make install phases twice. modify-phases does not currently support copying phases (though add-after could work with the right function reference from cmake-build) and #:configure-flags would need to be set differently.

Another option would be to patch the source build files, but this problem feels solvable in Guix without duplicating the code from cmake-build’s configure.

Thanks,
Greg
