Hello, thank you for the feedback. > - configure with --disable-static, The package also builds normal libraries that should be build both as static and dynamic, so this option can unfortunately not be used. > - add --tag=disable-static to AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS or libfoo_la_LIBTOOLFLAGS. At least with libtool 1.5.26 this does not appear to have any effect, a static library still gets built and installed. Regards, Karl-Andre' Skevik Inferno Nettverk A/S
