Subject: [gentoo-dev] sys-libs/ncurses: erronious deletion of *.dll.a files; possibly other packages affected
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 21:01:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170921020139.kp4664tanr7cj77d@proprietary-killer.fossland> (raw)

Greetings,

So, I filed bug #631468 regarding sys-libs/ncurses's ebuild deleting
*.dll.a files unconditionally if USE=static-libs is not set; this is a
problem as mingw-w64 uses these files at link time (-lncurses needs
libncurses.dll.a to link and libncurses6.dll at runtime).

arfrever suggests I send a mail here, as there are other packages which
may be affected by this issue and perhaps a more generalized fix is
required instead of an explicit fix in sys-libs/ncurses and other ebuilds
that may require it.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Marty
