static xemacs build problem

rh writes: Yes, but it may not be sufficient by itself. Many "modern" distros don't bother to provide static libraries, or have a policy against providing certain static libraries that XEmacs needs to link to (perhaps indirectly). Of course it's up to you, but I wonder why you want to do this? XEmacs has suffered from a number of defects in system libraries over the past few years. I would say that the number I've suffered from them personally is about the same as the number of times Gentoo has removed a library out from under me and I've had to relink XEmacs. Meaning what? If you mean a fatal error saying "you can't do that" or "C compiler can't build executables", my guess would be that you have a distro that doesn't properly support static linkage. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
