Subject: [gentoo-dev] Say no to static libraries!
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 11:23:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1b8cd0140509220223db588ca@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

But how?

If I do a "du -hc /usr/lib/lib*.a | tail -n1", it shows 63M. And I
really don't need them.

Why INSTALL_MASK="*.a" is bad?

  * It would break bash, because the ebuild expects a static libcurses.

  * It would not save compile time. I would really appreciate if gtk+
compiled twice as fast.

Solution?

For automake packages it is as simple as giving a --disable-static to configure.

Any thoughts?
