Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for this information. The original patch had some Debian-specific
environment variables, so I started to wonder about the relation to the Debian
platform. I will have a closer look at this.
Regards,
Arjen

Hello.
These suggestions are not specific to Debian or Ada.
The most common kind of libraries is shared/relocatable (.so/dll/...), but some
people may want a static library (.a/.o/...) or more exotic choices (static-pic
for example).
Currently, plplotada builds a shared library. This is good.
CMake seems able to also build a static library. As far as I understand
Rafael's commit, adding the following line into bindings/ada/CMakeLists.txt
tells CMake to build *both* the shared and static library.
configure_library_build(plplotada_static STATIC "${plplotada_BODY_SRCS}" ""
"${LIB_INSTALL_RPATH}")
Debian is happy with this, but this is probably not a satisfying default. I
suggest to make the static library an opt-in option.
if(enable_ADA_STATIC)
# Also build the static library
configure_library_build(plplotada_static STATIC "${plplotada_BODY_SRCS}" ""
"${LIB_INSTALL_RPATH}")
endif(enable_ADA_STATIC)
The ideal would be to allow any combination through an explicit configure
option for each library kind. I do not know how easy it would be, and this is
not useful to Debian right now.
By the way, does this trivial change not fix the renaming issue?
configure_library_build(plplotada STATIC "${plplotada_BODY_SRCS}" ""
"${LIB_INSTALL_RPATH}")
