Building rethinkdb package
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rethinkdb
I found that its compilation fails.
[10/258] CP precompiled/web/js -> build/release/rethinkdb_web_assets/js PROTOC protoc-gen-js g++: error: /usr/lib/libprotobuf.a: No such file or directory g++: error: /usr/lib/libprotoc.a: No such file or directory It happens because makepkg cannot find any static libs for protobuf library. Currently there is a hack that changes rethinkdb build scripts and replaces libprotobuf.a with libprotobuf.so But it sounds wrong to me that protobuf does not ship any static libs. IMHO it should ship *.a in addition to *.so |

It is generally Arch policy to not ship static libraries as it is
considered bad practice. Other software should be fixed upstream
to work with shared libraries. I'm gonna close this bug report for
now on that assumption. If this software requires static libraries
for some odd reason, reopen it.
