Enabling this flag will install a static version of libjpeg alongside |
| 10 |
the dynamic one. You do not need to worry; other programs will continue |
| 11 |
using the dynamic version, since this is the default. The static |
| 12 |
version will only be used by programs that specifically demand it and |
| 13 |
would otherwise not work. |

So there are no consequences at all in enabling this USE flag. |
