[CMake] Can't get static executable

[Steven Van Ingelgem]

Sorry Eneko,


I should have been more clear.
It works nicely in CVS under Linux because the "-L<dir> -Wl,-Bstatic
-l<lib>"flags get set correctly. Under a Mac this doesn't work because
they use v401 of GCC, which seems to not understand those flags.

The change which is needed should be to allow the full path to an
archive, and not re-interpret it (for example use
"/lib/libwxbase29u.a" instead of changing it to "-L/lib -Wl,-Bstatic
-lwxbase29u")

What has been discussed can be not better described than what Brad
told in the bug report:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=3832

Hopes this helps you in your efforts.


Greetings,
Steven
