As libjpeg and libpng bumped their major versions in the last months
I had to adjust some of my library requires in my wine.spec file.
This caused me thinking if it is really necessary to dynamically
load nearly every library.
Can we make some of those direct linking? libjpeg and libpng
and some other lowlevel libraries might be useful.
+1 for static linking them.
No static linking either, its the nightmare of security maintainers ;)
But which distro doesnt have libjpeg or libpng? or libX11.so, libXext.so.,
libncurses.so...
How about MacOSX or Solaris? They don't come with these.
OSX 10.5+ comes with X11 installed. OpenSolaris has X11 and friends as
well, though Solaris may not.
Austin:
I'm referring to the 'little' things, like openssl. MacOSXs version is
not the same as Linux. Also, the level of library support varies
greatly between versions of MacOSX.
See my reply to Ryan for more on this.
Also, we have to keep in mind that there are still Intel Mac users that
are running MacOSX 10.4, which did not come with X11 installed.
