https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866032 Bug ID: 866032 QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org Severity: unspecified Version: rawhide Priority: unspecified CC: erik-fedora(a)vanpienbroek.nl, fedora-mingw(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, lfarkas(a)lfarkas.org, rjones(a)redhat.com Assignee: rjones(a)redhat.com Summary: configure --disable-static prevents building of freetype static library Regression: --- Story Points: --- Classification: Fedora OS: Unspecified Reporter: ntd(a)entidi.it Type: Bug Documentation: --- Hardware: Unspecified Mount Type: --- Status: NEW Component: mingw-freetype Product: Fedora Back in 2008 static libraries were stripped from the final package. The relevant commit does not explain why: http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-misc.cgi/fedora-mingw--devel/rev/1d89b... Actually they are disabled at configure level with --disable-static. I'd like to know the rationale behind this. If that reason still stands a comment should be added to the spec (or I can provide a git patch myself... I don't know if this is common practice here) otherwise adding --enable-static can be considered. I didn't find anything in favor or against it in the wild. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
