When we pass this option, we are asking the compiler to create a static executable. That is, an executable with no dynamic dependencies. If we compile a “Hello World” program both with (with-static) and without (no-static) this option enabled, we can see the difference highlighted by ldd. For reference, I am using clang++-19 with the mold linker on an amd64 based Ubuntu 24.https://mattbolitho.github.io/posts/vcpkg-with-libcxx/Wed, 17 Apr 2024 08:00:00 +0000https://mattbolitho.github.io/posts/vcpkg-with-libcxx/I have been using vcpkg for a few C++ projects recently. Over the last few months or so, I have mostly been switching over to LLVM tools for my personal C++ projects. One small pain point is that, if you link against libc++ with your consuming project that links against libraries from vcpkg, you will almost certainly get linker errors. This is because vcpkg will link libraries against libstdc++ by default and, because your project uses libc++ instead, you will get undefined symbols.
