Bug 174786 – net-misc/openvpn-2.0.6 setting USE="static" does not work

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Gisbers 2007-04-16 11:16:01 UTC]

Emerging static version of openvpn results in dynamic linked version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="static" emerge =net-misc/openvpn-2.0.6
2. ldd /usr/sbin/openvpn


Actual Results:  
ldd /usr/sbin/openvpn
      linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
      libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0xf7ead000)
      libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0xf7d78000)
      liblzo2.so.2 => /usr/lib/liblzo2.so.2 (0xf7d59000)
      libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7d55000)
      libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf7c36000)
      /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7eef000)


Expected Results:  
ldd /usr/sbin/openvpn
      not a dynamic executable


Seems like '-e' and '-i' have to be exchanged in ebuild:
