The upstream author also only provides infrastructure for static linking.
iirc there are ways to make a dynamic library even if upstream only provides a static one. I think I once saw this method employed for another debian package: use "ar t" to get a list of objects from the static library, then call gcc -shared -fPIC on those objects to also make a dynamic version. Might be a useful addition. Not sure what the policy is about -dev packages without a non-dev library only version to acompany it. regards, Izak -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
