[CMake] Create executable with no dynamic dependency at all

[Denis Scherbakov]

Jean-Pierre,

I am not sure, how you get -Wl,-Bstatic and so on. Here is how I get static executable:

$ /usr/bin/c++  -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -s -static \
CMakeFiles/DispatcherExe.dir/DispatcherMain.cc.o \
-o DispatcherExe \
-rdynamic ../../Generic/libGeneric.a \
../../CorbaUtil/libCorbaUtil.a -lmico2.3.13 -lmicocoss2.3.13 -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread -ldl

$ ldd DispatcherExe
        not a dynamic executable

Here is how I link it:

ADD_LIBRARY(Generic STATIC ${GENERIC_SRCS})

ADD_LIBRARY(CorbaUtil STATIC ${CORBAUTIL_SRCS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(CorbaUtil  ${MICO_LIBRARY} ${MICO_COSS_LIBRARY} ssl crypto pthread dl)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(DispatcherExe  ${OPERDISPATCHER_SRCS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(DispatcherExe  CorbaUtil Generic)
