Dear CygWin community, I haven't got from the FAQ how to report problems in CygWin, so I email to this maillist again.
The current package v2.7.7-1 does not include the file /lib/libxml2.a, which I need for static linking. When I compile the package manually via "configure & make all install" I got all files I need: checking whether to build shared libraries... yes checking whether to build static libraries... yes ... $ ls -1 /usr/local/lib/libxml2* /usr/local/lib/libxml2.a /usr/local/lib/libxml2.dll.a /usr/local/lib/libxml2.la but the output of "cygport libxml2-2.7.7-1.cygport prep compile" reports: checking whether to build shared libraries... yes checking whether to build static libraries... no I have found out that "--disable-static" is explicitly passed to configure. Maybe it was done on purpose. Is it possible to enable static libraries assemble? Thanks in advance. -- With best regards, Dmitry -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
