Lately I found lots of problems and inconsistency for the useflag static. |
2 |
|
3 |
Sometimes it means "build only static", sometimes "build static and shared". |

The problem: |

|
7 |
If you need to build something static you need the static libs. |
8 |
|
9 |
If the use flag depend is allowed probably that could be a dirty |
10 |
solution. Luckly it isn't yet, so we have to find a cleaner one: |
11 |
|
12 |
1- split static in static and static-lib (static-lib will make the |
13 |
library build also the static version, static will build _just_ the |
14 |
static lib) |
15 |
|
16 |
2- make everly library build always the static library and let use |
17 |
static just apply for executables. |
18 |
|

Tell me what you think |

PS: some annoying examples: qemu:qemu-fast, openssh:static |
