[CMake] Building statically linked executables

[Marcel Loose]

Hi all,

I would like to be able to build statically linked executables. I
currently have the following statements in one of my initialization
macros:

  if(BUILD_STATIC_EXECUTABLES)
    set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS -static)
    set(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES .a)
    set(CMAKE_EXE_LINK_DYNAMIC_C_FLAGS)       # remove -Wl,-Bdynamic
    set(CMAKE_EXE_LINK_DYNAMIC_CXX_FLAGS)
    set(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_C_FLAGS)         # remove -fPIC
    set(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CXX_FLAGS)
    set(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_C_FLAGS)    # remove -rdynamic
    set(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_CXX_FLAGS)
    # Maybe this works as well, haven't tried yet.
    # set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS FALSE)
  endif(BUILD_STATIC_EXECUTABLES)

Does this cover all affected CMake variables, or am I still missing
some. 

Note that this question is partly related to an earlier question of
mine, "Static linking and find_library()", which can be found at
http://www.mail-archive.com/cmake@cmake.org/msg21106.html

Best regards,
Marcel Loose.
