VVVVVV

Misa 5e25161a10 Add `/MT` flag for MSVC This flag makes it so the MSVC runtime libraries are statically linked. This avoids needing Windows users to have these libraries installed. Apparently /MT stands for "MultiThreaded", and there's a bit of a history there where originally by default you could only have a single-threaded library, and then the multi-threaded flags were added in later. First I tried doing target_compile_options on VVVVVV, but then got a linker error. Then I tried doing add_compile_options because I figured /MT had to be applied everywhere, and it seemed to work, but it still linked to the runtime libraries. Apparently it was being overridden. Then I tried target_compile_options again but this time did it to everything, and that linked correctly and also removed the runtime dependency. I would've tried using the MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY property - along with the CMP0091 policy - but those were only introduced in CMake 3.15. You can verify that a binary is built without dependencies by installing LLVM and running llvm-readobj --needed-libs path/to/binary. This is the output for a binary with runtime dependencies: infoteddy@fedorarune  ~/d  llvm-readobj --needed-libs VVVVVV.exe File: VVVVVV.exe Format: COFF-i386 Arch: i386 AddressSize: 32bit NeededLibraries [ ADVAPI32.dll KERNEL32.dll MSVCP140.dll SDL2.dll SHELL32.dll USER32.dll VCRUNTIME140.dll api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0.dll api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll api-ms-win-crt-time-l1-1-0.dll api-ms-win-crt-utility-l1-1-0.dll ] And this is the output for a binary with those dependencies having been statically-linked in: infoteddy@fedorarune  ~/d  llvm-readobj --needed-libs VVVVVV.exe File: VVVVVV.exe Format: COFF-i386 Arch: i386 AddressSize: 32bit NeededLibraries [ ADVAPI32.dll KERNEL32.dll SDL2.dll SHELL32.dll USER32.dll ]		5 days ago
