Could you please approach upstream to make the buildsystem properly supporting static builds? As long as we have the fall outs which you described I don't see a chance to bring this into the repo. Closing as UPSTREAM as per previous comment. |
Created attachment 329960 [details, diff] Patch for screen-4.0.3-r6.ebuild to add the static USE flag. Hello, I often need screen (or tmux) on machines where I don't have root access. Having a static build of screen might be very useful so I wrote a patch for the ebuild. I don't know if it's a good idea to have this in Portage, take a look at the patch and let me know what you think. If it looks good I can do the same for tmux and the other available screen's ebuilds. The only problem is that when I build the static tmux/screen I get these warnings, but as long we're using the same glibc version shouldn't be a problem. screen.o: In function `main': screen.c:(.text+0x302e): warning: Using 'getpwnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking screen.c:(.text+0x305f): warning: Using 'getpwuid' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking screen.c:(.text+0x2a22): warning: Using 'getspnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking screen.c:(.text+0x2a58): warning: Using 'endspent' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking teln.o: In function `TelConnect': teln.c:(.text+0x428): warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
