Description:
Why the PKGBUILD for libvorbis disables static libraries creation? I couldn't find the reason. I just found this post in the forums: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94906 Additional info: * libvorbis 1.3.1-1 |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: Arch doesn't need static libs for our own packages. If you really want it for a certain reason there's always abs.

I would like to make a static library of it to hopefully be used to
link in the Penumbra Overture game.
When you use Arch for development purposes you may need to compile _things_
statically.
Yes, I know we should make it all shared but then it would take some time to prepare the build
scripts.
Will it take a lot more space?
Also, are you saying we should not package static libraries in
Arch anymore?
Cheers
Have you tried it? It is not working.
Also, it is packaging 3 repositories together.
Cheers
_edit:
I'm sorry, you are the maintainer of that package, right?
I didn't mean to offend you. I just want to make the pieces
work independently, and then link hpl1 and oalwrapper in
the penumbra package. I will send you a patch if I can make
this work.
the packages all shared. Not because of this library,
just because it will be easier.
I asked for these static libraries mostly because I have
hundreds of other static libraries installed in my system. When
I finally found some use to them I saw that there is packages
that are missing it. We should package all or none of them for
consistency purposes, don't you agree?
If you want, I can orphan it and you can maintain it since I don't really play this game.
The reasons for packaging 3 repos together is that they aren't independent of one another, otherwise I would agree with you:

There is no need for that, unless you are really tired of it. Don't take it the wrong way.
Yeah, the game devs made some very simple cmake files for penumbra
in Linux. But there is a way to make them separately for use in other
future projects:

Cheers.
How about this. I'm currently really busy with work and all. If you can make the game work for penumbra-overture-git then it is yours, deal? :)
