With Lazarus 2.2.2 fpc 3.2.2 I get similar error. I've recompiled FPC and Lazarus from the latest trunk versions under Gitlab and it seems that static linking works correctly with the internal linker now. The external linker still fails with LCL, but the internal one will work fine for my needs.

Conflict when static linking in external linker lazarus / 67-Windows ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sollapse · 2024-03-08 13:53 I'm attempting to compile an test app using the PortMidi library. I've compiled it statically using TDM64-GCC. When statically linking the library along with the necessary MingW32 libs using the -Xe option, the project compiles and runs normally as a bare bones console app. When I attempt to compile the app including the LCL for GUI, the external linker throws an error while attempting to link an object file from the Windows API it seems. This external linker error also occurs whether statically linking the library or not adding it to the project at all. Why does it error out when linking LCL on Windows? I've included a test project file with all the necessary static libs also. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thaddy · 2024-03-08 18:28 I got a virus warning on the download. Please remove executables, but not the libraries. (and yes, ms defender can scan 7z in windows 11.) Can obviously be a false positive. [edit] It is a positive. DO NOT DOWNLOAD I checked it in clean room ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sollapse · 2024-03-08 18:46 I actually removed the exe from the file before posting to get within the size limit. It's just the static libraries and project files/source. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thaddy · 2024-03-08 18:53 I just found out the libraries are not safe. (I am CEH certified) Plz remove all binaries and provide links to where to get them, As is, nobody will download this. (except me, because I have a clean room, Hotel California style: You can enter but never leave, or better Sartre, Huit Clos, where the Eagles stole it from) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sollapse · 2024-03-08 21:32 That's very odd. I just compiled the PortMidi library from the source using the Github master. If I host them on my own Github, it'll be the exact same static's. Can't you just test it in a sandbox environment? The bug is not with static linking PortMidi per se, but linking with the external linker option referencing LCL. It crashes while linking the Windows API object files included with FPC. If you can compile your own test application that links with LCL using the -Xe option, you should see the explicit error(s) I'm speaking of. PortMidi isn't necessary at all to replicate the issue. Are you also able to share your endpoint threat assessment of the files with me for my own reference? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomas Hajny · 2024-03-08 21:39 Hi, I removed the attachment to stay on the safe side. Please, provide input containing just sources, not precompiled libraries. If external binary libraries are necessary, reference their original source location (just the source site, not URL of the binary file). Tomas (one of forum moderators) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sollapse · 2024-03-08 22:00 Will do. I'll copy the project/source file once I get home sans the PortMidi library. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sollapse · 2024-03-11 21:30 Sorry for the delay.
