Should the MinGW binary packages contain static libraries?

Open madebr opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Until now, all MinGW binary packages contain a dynamic dll and a static library. Since the SDL project recommends using shared libraries, would it make sense to stop adding static libraries? MinGW is the only platform for which we provide static libraries.

Yes.

Is the yes an answer to the title, or the question in my post?

This change has been applied to all SDL3 build scripts.
