hubFS: THE place for F#

I was putting together a one-off app that I wanted to distribute as a single exe. So, I was messing with --standalone and --static-link flags.

(all projects are --static-link below)

If I had:
F# -> C# -> F#
the compiler complained that the last f# project was not referenced directly (I forget the actual phrasing), and that no F# libraries would be linked.

If I had:
F# -> F#
F# -> C#
the compiler complained about 2 definitions of some F# stuff. (Both F# projects included the --standalone flag.)

Is the standalone flag going to be supported in the future? Will there be support for when 2 F# libraries specify the standalone flag with static linking?

I think that using the --standalone flags links the FSharp.Core libraries into your dll. Hence using --standalone on multiple F# projects result in errors.

Have you tried using static linking for the referenced dlls and standalone only for the "last" F# dll of your project ?

I hope this might help.
