Well the building of static libraries is on a per package basis, so I |
| 13 |
guess your fastest option here is to copy the qt ebuild to your |
| 14 |
overlay directory and modify it to make a static library. You could |
| 15 |
also file a bug report on bugzilla requesting the change for qt, if |
| 16 |
there isn't already an existing report for this. |

However, my guess is that you are on the wrong track. It really |
| 19 |
sounds like the DISPLAY environment variable is not set correctly, or |
| 20 |
possibly the program is modifying it's own environment for some |
| 21 |
reason....maybe an strace of the program would reveal more. |
