Obtaining Statically-Included OpenSSL Librariesīy default, OpenSSL comes compiled as a dynamic library, but we want a static one! Fortunately, vcpkg makes it easy to obtain static builds of the OpenSSL libraries. Edit the supplied Makefile.msc to link to static OpenSSL.Obtain a static version of the OpenSSL libraries.
Fortunately, obtaining a static sqlcipher.lib library is fairly straightforward-it more or less requires only 3 steps: It is readily accessible as a static library on Linux, but the community edition doesn’t provide support for building a static library on Windows.
SQLCipher is a handy “extension” to SQLite3 which provides encryption to SQLite3 databases. If the thought of adding a couple of MB to your executable size doesn’t send you running for the hills, read on. If that is something you do care about, then static linking probably isn’t for you. As for the extra space, my hundreds-of-gigabytes SSD simply doesn’t care if my application weighs a couple extra MB. dlls beside your final binary and you’ll have to start bundling your application into an archive just to deliver it to consumers when you could just send them a single executable. dlls your application requires beside the main binary, which is basically statically linking but more fragile, and way more annoying-you’ll always be lugging around several. To combat this, you typically include all the. In practice, I’ve found this to rarely work well, and run headlong into DLL Hell more often than I haven’t. Why might you want a static library instead of a dynamic one? Theoretically, dynamically linking is preferred over static linking because if you can maintain forward compatibility you can save some space by reusing and sharing binaries across multiple consumers of those binaries.
