Windows Static Builds <> Tools issue

[ssunday]

https://github.com/MyGUI/mygui/blob/master/CMake/InstallRules.cmake#L105 I'm guessing this is problematic with sdl2 that's build statically. https://github.com/MyGUI/mygui/blob/master/CMake/Packages/SDL2FinderHelper.cmake isn't used here.

Also as an aside, I'm not sure why this is happening https://github.com/MyGUI/mygui/blob/master/CMake/Utils/MyGUIConfigTargets.cmake#L71

Doesn't seem like a blocker, I'm working through vcpkg PR errors microsoft/vcpkg#52862 and it came up... I may patch it out, not sure yet if they'll want me to, I just have it not allowed for static builds at this time.

I don't have the exact error detailed logs for the windows static builds, I just sent it to Claude to see if it could figure it out and it flagged sdl2 stuff and it does look like it would be a problem if trying to do this statically.

Just emphasizing that on the vcpkg side as it can be patched around or worked around, just raising it as a future no rush improvement™....which I may raise a PR for if I have to patch it for vcpkg as I'd have the code anyway.

I'm currently testing some non-trivial os/platform combinations and most likely this issue would be covered as well.

Pushed some fixes to master. Any way to test it in vcpkg?

I can test it later, but as for vcpkg, I think if you are on windows you could clone my fork (the one from the PR) and update the portfile to point to the new commit and then bring back tools and run against the static windows triplet the Azure CI is doing so.

[Altren]

Could you please check if the issue is still there?

[ssunday]

Well, if we aren't building for non-dummy anymore, then the vcpkg doesn't have tools anymore, so this is a moot point from my angle...but talking in the other issue.
