First, sorry if this is the wrong list. I could redirect this question to debian-mentors or elsewhere if more appropriate there.
I frequently have to create a shared library with libstdc++ and libgfortran statically linked. This currently requires building GCC (or at least those two libraries) from source specifying --with-pic to configure. I have noticed there are packages libstdc++6-4.x-pic (or libstdc++-4.8-pic in the experimental distribution) which simplify this task, but there is no such thing for libgfortran. How difficult would it be to create this? I have looked at the libstdc++ automake files and the relevant diffs in the GCC source .deb package, and it looks as if creating the libstdc++6-4.x-pic package is especially simple since the file is just renamed from the libstdc++convenience.a library which is already being built. The build process for libgfortran looks quite different and I don’t see a clear analog. I hope I’m not the only one who would find this useful. I’d be willing to help do this, if it’s within my ability. Thanks, Tony Kelman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-gcc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
