链接器正在寻找链接到我自己的静态库的静态库

Question

I have a static library that links to a statically built Boost library. However, when my executable is linking to my own static library, it will fail with a message saying that it cannot find the Boost library.

I thought when my static library is statically linked to the Boost library, any further upstream dependency of the Boost library should be gone. Isn't this correct?

MyLib.lib -> linked to static Boost library MyApp.exe -> links to MyLib.lib statically, Failed!, cannot find Boost library

Any help is appreciated.

Static libraries are really nothing more than a collection of object files. If you want to use a static library that depends on other libraries, you need to link withe other libraries as well.
