I second this request. In contrast to your objection/warning, static builds of current versions of gdk-pixbuf (and gtk3) work very well in my experience. But they do not make much sense unless the loaders are also linked statically. AFAIK, this requires one to configure gdk-pixbuf with
./configure (..) --disable-modules --with-included- loaders=ani,icns,pcx,ras,tga,png,pnm,wbmp,xbm,xpm,qtif,bmp,gif,ico,jpeg,tiff,jasper So in the worst case debuild would have to compile the package twice. I believe that this can be circumvented with a simple patch though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101157 Title: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev unusable for static builds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdk-pixbuf/+bug/1101157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
