Description:

It seems, the static library libX11.a is not included in libx11 package. At least, 'gcc -static some.c -lX11' says:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11

I don't know whether this is a bug or a feature, but i would like this library to be included in the package.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

libx11-1.3.2-1

* config and/or log files etc.

N/A

Steps to reproduce:

$ cat > some.c
int main(int arg_c, char** arg_v)
{
return 0;
}
^+D

$ pacman -S libx11 && gcc -static some.c -lX11
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Respectfully, c0da.
This task depends upon
