static link issue on Macos in VSCode

[yifan513]

I built the libraries on macos, and botht .a and .dylib are created. such as

ll /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundation*                                                                                                                                                          -rwxr-xr-x  1 david  admin   2.1M Apr  1 14:56 /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundation.92.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x  1 david  admin   2.1M Apr  1 14:56 /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundation.92.dylib.bak
-rw-r--r--  1 david  admin   3.6M Oct 21 16:16 /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundation.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 david  admin    26B Oct 14 14:29 /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundation.dylib -> libPocoFoundation.92.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x  1 david  admin   7.6M Oct 17 15:57 /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundationd.92.dylib
-rw-r--r--  1 david  admin    29M Oct 21 16:13 /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundationd.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 david  admin    27B Oct 14 14:26 /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundationd.dylib -> libPocoFoundationd.92.dylib

I tried to use the static link of the .a files, but seems in the VSCOde, it always just use the dylib, which cause distribute touble.
In my vscode json, i use

                    "-lPocoFoundation",
                    "-lcrypto",
                    "-lssl",

is good to link, but if I test a force link of .a as

                    "-l/usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundation.a",
                    "-lcrypto",
                    "-lssl",

and I will get such error

ld: library not found for -l/usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundation.a

SO, my question is, actually I set to built only static lib,
1, why I also have the .dylib files?
In the build_cmake.sh, I add

-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=NO 

to the command for both debug and release.

2,
How to use poco in static lib on macos?

For #1, I updated the build_cmake.sh again to add the
POCO_STATIC=1
and I can see the only generated file are .a

So it is not an issue.
I will close it now.

Thanks
