This folder should contain all raw binary files needed for FPC and Delphi static linking.

If this folder is void (e.g. when retrieved from https://synopse.info/fossil), you can download all the needed sub-folders from a matching release from https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/releases

Those .o/.obj files were compiled from optimized C/asm, for the best performance, and reduce dependencies or version problems.

Note that such external files are not mandatory to compile the framework source code. There is always a "pure pascal" fallback code available, or use e.g. the official external sqlite3 library.

The framework source code uses relative paths to include the expected .o/.obj files from the static\delphi sub-folder, so nothing special is needed.

Ensure that "Libraries -fFl" in your FPC project options is defined as:

  ..\static\$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)

(replace ..\static by an absolute/relative path to this folder)

It will ensure that when (cross-)compiling your project, FPC will link the expected .o binary files, depending on the target system.

Ensure you keep in synch these binaries with the main framework source code. Otherwise, some random/unexpected errors may occur.
