Back when that text was added to the book, --strip-all removed something from the static libraries that is needed to link to them (basically making them useless). Symbol table perhaps? For testing, you would need to move the .so files out of the way, and attempt to link to the .a file. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
