Details

Description:
libjpeg is currently compiled with
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-static

It would be nice, if --disable-static would be removed from the PKGBUILD or replaced by --enable-static and libjpeg would be rebuilt, so that the statically linked version of libjpeg is also built.

I'm maintaining fbsplash (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13541). This package needs the dynamically linked (.so) version as well as the statically linked (.a) version of libjpeg. Otherwise it fails to compile.

And building a new package libjpeg-static in AUR just to get --disable-static removed and to get only one small additional file, would be a bit over-the-top and not quite KISS like in my opinion.

See also  FS#11016 .

Additional info:
* package version(s)
libjpeg 8-1

The static libjpeg.a needs rawtherapee (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11186) package too.
