Sometimes I encounter a package that won't build with=20 this setting, but that's a rare occasion. At the moment this packages are f= or=20 me: x11-libs/libXxf86vm sys-devel/gdb-6.6 dev-libs/jrtplib-3.5.2 dev-libs/libpcre sys-apps/ed I see that this way to disable static libraries is not perfect.=20 Disabling static linking has - for me - before all the advantage of reducin= g=20 size for most packages - for some packages up to 50%. So I'm curious why (nearly?) all ebuilds build static _and_ dynamic librari= es? I understand that the current way is pretty hassle-free. But from my=20 perspective a (possibly officialy unsupported) way to make things easier fo= r=20 people who wan't the choice would be fine. I'm sorry if there has been such a discussion already. Also I don't want to= =20 start a flame about what is the better choice (static or dynamic). regards Roman --nextPart3513931.i4RsZz6QzH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGNF3JIAIA2PPsul0RAq3/AKCq9R+i9ocsdS+B7F6dSqW957iOqwCdGRKv FWyt3FVm5yHhTdfwmM/7FNo= =eGO9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3513931.i4RsZz6QzH-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
