Package: libgtkmm-2.4-dev Version: 1:2.24.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The libgtkmm-dev package doesn't contain the static libary. This prevents to create a binary statically linked against GTKMM. The same issue exists for packages depending on gtkmm: libatkmm-1.6-dev, libpangomm-1.4-dev. The issue still exists in Debian unstable (sid). The following files have to be patched to generate the static library: GTKMM ----- cat -- >> gtkmm2.4-2.24.2/debian/rules <<EOF DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS += --enable-static EOF cat -- >> gtkmm2.4-2.24.2/debian/libgtkmm-2.4-dev.install <<EOF usr/lib/lib*.a EOF ATKMM ----- cat -- >> atkmm1.6-2.22.6/debian/rules <<EOF DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS += --enable-static EOF cat -- >> atkmm1.6-2.22.6/debian/libatkmm-1.6-dev.install <<EOF usr/lib/lib*.a EOF PANGOMM ------- sed --in-place -e 's/--disable-static/--enable-static/' pangomm-2.28.4/debian/rules cat -- >> pangomm-2.28.4/debian/libpangomm-1.4-dev.install <<EOF usr/lib/lib*.a EOF With these patches, the following static libraries will be generated: /usr/lib/libpangomm-1.4.a /usr/lib/libatkmm-1.6.a /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.a -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libgtkmm-2.4-dev depends on: ii libatk1.0-dev 2.4.0-2 ii libatkmm-1.6-dev 2.22.6-2 ii libcairomm-1.0-dev 1.10.0-1 ii libglibmm-2.4-dev 2.32.1-1 ii libgtk2.0-dev 2.24.10-2 ii libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a 1:2.24.2-2 ii libpangomm-1.4-dev 2.28.4-2 libgtkmm-2.4-dev recommends no packages.
