Linking GSL statically using Cmake

I'm linking GNU GSL with a pybind11 module. It works if GSL is linked as a shared library:



cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
project(st)

# Paths
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH $CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "$CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR/cmake/")

# Packages
add_subdirectory(pybind11)
find_package(GSL REQUIRED)

# Includes
set(DIRS $GSL_INCLUDE_DIRS $GSLCBLAS_INCLUDE_DIRS)
include_directories($DIRS)

# Python module
pybind11_add_module(st src/st.cpp)

# Libraries
set(LIBS $LIBS $GSL_LIBRARIES $GSLCBLAS_LIBRARIES)
target_link_libraries(st PRIVATE $LIBS)


How can I link it statically? I've tried a lot of different options but it doesn't work.

  • "it doesn't work" isn't a problem description. Note, that unlike to a shared library, a static library doesn't track its dependencies. So, if a GSL library uses some other libraries, then you need to link with them manually. One may suggest that find_package should care of the library's dependencies, but most of existent FindXXX.cmake scripts do not do that.

  • I have the exact same question. I tried cmake -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-static" -DCMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES=".a" .. but to no avail. GSL is still linked dynamically.
