Gotya. The static build seems to be a slight improvement. Building with
--backend ninja still compiles with GCC (MinGW), and --backend MSVC the static
build seems to target a .a extension. There is also the line #define
ORC_API_EXPORT extern __attribute__ ((visibility ("default"))), if Im not
mistaken the __attribute__ is a GCC language extension. It also is passing some
GCC arguments (-fdiagnostics-color=always, -std=gnu99, -fvisibility=hidden). I
replaced it with __declspec(dllexport) and everything compiled fine. It still
passes the default arguments to the linker in addition to the default ones are
already there. Also #define HAVE_SYS_TIME_H, #define HAVE_UNISTD_H are there
which causes problems. Dynamic Builds and projects are config'd with it, and it
seems to work on a couple executables I tested. Those small things aside
everything seems to be working :)
