Description:

slang package is missing the libslang.a file which makes impossible to build some packages


Solution:

'make install' should be changed to 'make install-all'
(this will build and install the 'static' target)


Additional info:

When trying to build libnewt - it complains at 'cc ... -lslang' stage that slang cannot be found.

Though when I've tried to build jed - it builds ok, and readelf -d shows a dependency on libslang.so.2

I don't know why there is a difference. :-/


Steps to reproduce:

1) Try to build the attached PKGBUILD
2) Now rebuild slang with 'make install' changed to 'make install-all' and install it
3) Try to build the attached PKGBUILD again and see that it builds
4) see that executable and library files that were built actually depends on a shared slang library and not built with static slang built-in:
$ readelf -d pkg/usr/lib/libnewt.so | grep slang
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libslang.so.2]
$ readelf -d pkg/usr/bin/whiptail | grep slang
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libslang.so.2]
