static linking for Windows + MinGW-w64(MSYS2) + Eclipse

But sometimes, aside from Visual Studio, I think there's not really many good IDE for C++, even though CDT is not really ideal.

CMake is able to generate CodeLite IDE files, although the result from FLTK's CMake files is suboptimal. But it works.   Meanwhile I switched to Visual Studio Code (VS Code) by Microsoft (open source on GitHub) which is also cross platform and works really like an IDE in many aspects.   You can use a build environment generated by CMake (I'm using CMake, but you can also use Makefiles) to build and test with a really good visual (GUI) debugger interface.   I'm really impressed how well this works but I tested so far only on Linux. The Windows version should certainly work fine as well I think (after all it's mainly developed by Microsoft).   Just my 2 ct.

It also works well with my (VERY)tiny project, nevertheless, I can hardly say it as an IDE. For me, it looks like an Emacs from Microsoft. Still needs some hassle for project settings. Come to think of it, more of the projects are done with source-code editors. The heavy(and tricky) IDE might not really necessary. After all, I'll try Makefile so use of VSCode might worth it.   Thanks for your advice.
