Hi all,
to save disk space, I would like to not install the static libraries
lib/lib*.a. I tried that with the package devel/libidn, as it uses
GNU_CONFIGURE and libtool.
I added CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-static=no, and then, after doing "make
configure", I ran "${WRKSRC}/libtool --features". The output is:
host: i386--netbsdelf
enable shared libraries
enable static libraries
Then I disabled the USE_LIBTOOL line in the package Makefile, and
tadaaa, it works.
So why is the --disable-static option useless when USE_LIBTOOL is
#defined in the Makefile?
