Thanks Mika, it works perfectly! Now let's do the same for xorg-x11, zlib, acl, attr, db, jpeg and so on. Do you feel the need for a new USE flag? /Ervin -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

I've got no full solution. The EXTRA_ECONF way works only for automake packages. Using INSTALL_MASK='*.a' makes me really, really terrified if I think about sys-devel/gcc. /Ervin -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

INSTALL_MASK does, however. /Ervin -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Brian Jackson wrote: Solar had a nifty per package INSTALL_MASK in his bashrc at one point I think. Now I think the USE flag should be "install no static libraries for which shared version is provided". In Solaris 10 Sun engineers have eliminated static libraries. Linux is not yet ready for this. So INSTALL_MASK is not sufficient - see Mike's post about xorg-x11. /Ervin -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
