Error: linker command failed with exit code 1

[alex9spiridonov]

When I run make -j4 on my macOS I get error

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I get this error on version v1.8.0. With version v1.7.0 everything is fine.

How can this be fixed?

I solved this problem. I replaced

set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS " -static")
target_link_libraries(tdlib_json_cli Td::TdJsonStatic -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++)

to

target_link_libraries(tdlib_json_cli Td::TdJsonStatic)

i.e. just removed static links at CMakeLists.txt

[alex9spiridonov]

Why logic with static was added to project? Can we omit it?

Static link can produce static-linked binary, which can distribute between machines without version-specificed libraries installed.
