Ebuild patch

Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-17 19:32:40 UTC
Not a good idea, in general it would be nicer to use the shared copy of zlib already present in the system, to avoid having to load more data (zlib is almost always already present in memory) and to allow fixes in zlib to be shared by its users too.

Ebuild patch

Thanks to Ismail, I've been able to test the attached patch for the ebuild (Ismail's patch is bigger than the actual file to replace, and as only those variables are present and documented, this should do it).
Comment 4 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-06-06 23:14:02 UTC
bumped with a variation of the second patch (except invoking multilib so lib64 would be correctly captured, or lib128, or lib1024....hey, some day...) Thanks!
