Alan, do we want to do it? I believe the official Sun position is that static libraries and static linking is akin to evil incarnate. We definitely won't be shipping a static version in Solaris, but if someone using the source release wanted to build a static version, it should be as simple as adding '#define NormalLibXft YES' to xc/config/cf/host.def (assuming building in the X tree, as we do for the Solaris version - for the standalone version you probably need to add it to localdefines in the xftbridge directory, but since I've never built it, I don't know how it's expected to be built). Alexander: Why the WONTFIX ? Alan's comment provides sufficient information about how to build STSF static libraries, so I will include it into INSTALL.TXT file. I don't feel there is anything else that needs to be done. |
