Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2011-08-08 11:25:35 UTC 
This package installs also static libs ".a" please provide do add relative
USE. TIA

/usr/lib/libfontconfig.a
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.4.4
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.la
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1

Please remove also .la if is not needed.
Comment 1 Thomas Capricelli 2011-10-13 15:17:03 UTC 
er.. it used to install (or to allow installing) static files, but my current package (media-libs/fontconfig-2.8.0-r2) only has

/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so.1.4.4.debug
/usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so
/usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so.1
/usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so.1.4.4

And there's no (or no more?) static-lib USE flag.

Because of this, all my static builds are broken. libfontconfig is a dependency for all X application.
Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2011-10-13 15:24:17 UTC 
have you anything like: 

EXTRA_ECONF="${EXTRA_ECONF} --disable-static"

?
Comment 3 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-10-13 16:59:01 UTC 
static libs were dropped in 2.8.0-r2. Now I've added USE flag. Thank you guys. Fixed.
