How to build a static GTK library?

[Hammerklavier-cn]

I'm wondering if it is possible to build GTK4 static libraries. I am developing an AGPL project so I think there is no illegal issues.

Hi @Hammerklavier-cn - it might be possible by passing extra options to the Meson build systems using --extra-opts :;. However, GTK itself does not guarantee support for statically compiled builds, see the answer here: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/how-to-compile-gtk-and-all-its-dependencies-statically-using-my-toolchain-with-glibc-2-29/27249
