Can someone point me to the documentation regarding "If it's possible to create either a dynamic or static library, you should create both." (paraphrase of something vapier said at one point many moons ago, but I'm not trying to hold mike against that). I ask because I sense a new release of perl looming in the near future, and everytime one of the questions we're asked is why we build both a static and a dynamic library for perl (and to be honest, since perl isn't one of those apps you need running in an emergency single user boot - that i'm aware of anyway - I never have a good reference).
And yes, given the option, I'd do away with sys-devel/libperl all together and just build the library once, preferably dynamically since it leaves a smaller footprint for perl ;) ~mcummings -- -----o()o---------------------------------------------- Michael Cummings | #gentoo-dev, #gentoo-perl Gentoo Perl Dev | on irc.freenode.net Gentoo/SPARC Gentoo/AMD64 GPG: 0543 6FA3 5F82 3A76 3BF7 8323 AB5C ED4E 9E7F 4E2E -----o()o---------------------------------------------- Hi, I'm a .signature virus!
