Question

I try to link X11, giblib as static library with cmake.

So I append this code in CMakeLists.txt

set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS FALSE)
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS '-static')

target_link_libraries(Printmade2 Imlib2)
target_link_libraries(Printmade2 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.a)
target_link_libraries(Printmade2 /usr/lib/libgiblib.a)

After execute ‘make’, this message appears.

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../libX11.a(OpenDis.o): In function `OutOfMemory':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I guess something is missded, so I should link something more

but I can’t find .o file in my file system.

(For example, OpenDis.o, xcb_disp.o, ClDisplay.o)

What should I do to solve this problem?

It looks like you’re missing the libxcb static libraries. http://xcb.freedesktop.org/
