[gentoo-user] How to get a static libtcl built?

[Grant Edwards]

I need to create a statically linked program that uses libtcl,
but I only seem to have a shared libtcl.  The ebuild for
dev-lang/tcl doesn't appear to have any sort of static/dynamic
USE flags.

Hmm.  What does the "debug" flag do?  Is that a cryptic way of
saying "also build static libraries"?

I have tcl in my make.conf.

tcl - Adds support the Tcl language

Is that what you need?

No.  I believe that determines an application should include
TCL support (I assume as an embedded scripted language).

I need to know how to get both static and dynamic verions of
libtcl built.  Only the dynamic version of libtcl seems to be
built when one emerges dev-lang/tcl.  I also need the static
version.

Apparently not. Addign debug to tcl's USE flags didn't do
anything (that I can see).

EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-static" didn't do anything either.

EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-shared" built static libraries but
didn't build shared ones (and removed the existing ones).

I need both shared and static libraries, so --disable-shared
isn't an option.

How do I get both static and shared libraries?

Hi,

The 'tcl' ebuild doesn't depend on anything (beside glibc), USE="debug threads".
IUSE="debug threads"
DEPEND=""
$ ldd /usr/lib/libtcl.so
linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7fd2000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f25000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0		(0xb7f0e000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7ee6000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6			(0xb7d9c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2				(0x80000000)
Please check if these are glibc libs only.
You can use EXTRA_ECONF to build an app which will include
/usr/lib/libtcl.so in it's code (statically build).
Or compile 'tcl' (static) to a different location.
Only afterwards you'll have to pass an argument to the app which location to
link against.
