[Comment 1 Rob Cakebread (RETIRED) 2005-04-20 15:07:58 UTC]

Its compiled with shared libraries. You'll have to modify the ebuild to use static libraries by adding --disable-shared  to configure.

[Comment 2 crusaderky 2005-04-20 15:24:47 UTC]

AFAIK, it should be the opposite. wxWindows has both shared and static libraries, unless you disable them. I assume that there is a --disable-static flag set in the config. It should be left to the user with a USE switch.

[Comment 3 Mart Raudsepp 2006-04-10 14:54:55 UTC]

If --disable-shared is not specified to configure, only shared libraries are built.
