Plummer" To: gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-dev] sys-libs/ncurses: erronious deletion of *.dll.a files; possibly other packages affected Message-ID: <20170921020139.kp4664tanr7cj77d@proprietary-killer.fossland> Precedence: bulk List-Post: List-Help: List-Unsubscribe: List-Subscribe: List-Id: Gentoo Linux mail X-BeenThere: gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org Reply-to: gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline X-Archives-Salt: 43f8add6-c539-44d2-8d73-7c4d39698ea3 X-Archives-Hash: 11afaa1a026311a22224a4cc8ce573b4 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
