Description Linlin Yan 2013-10-30 16:50:01 UTC 
I found that sci-biology/samtools-0.1.19 doins *.h, but without libbam.a, which may be used for linking other software. So I suggest to install the library file when emerging.

Reproducible: Always




# emerge -pqvO samtools
[ebuild   R   ] sci-biology/samtools-0.1.19  USE="examples" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 -python2_6"

What software forces this static linking? samtools should install libbam.so already.
Comment 2 Linlin Yan 2013-10-30 17:16:39 UTC 
Oh, I see. You are right, libbam.so is enough.

I was trying to build consed (the latest version is 26), in whose makefile the libbam.a is static linked. Yes, I can override that by using dynamic linking.

Thanks!
