Bug 88055 – Add static library build to libgii

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Pat Double 2005-04-05 10:00:09 UTC]

Please add the option for libgii to build static versions of the library. This is needed at least for QEMU when building the accelerator.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Adds static library supports based on the 'static' use flag.

Previous patch did not use 'static' use flag.

Chris, see my comment in libggi's bug

[Comment 4 Luca Barbato 2005-04-11 12:56:36 UTC]

which accelerator?

[Comment 5 Pat Double 2005-04-11 15:27:22 UTC]

The KQEMU accelerator.

[Comment 6 Luca Barbato 2005-04-11 23:01:23 UTC]

last time I checked it was a closed source kernel module. Please explain better

[Comment 7 Pat Double 2005-04-12 03:42:42 UTC]

I do not know exactly if it is the accelerator only or for also the 'qemu-fast' program. I do know when I tried to compile QEMU without the ebuild, including the KQEMU patches (which apply to the QEMU emulator to use the module besides the actual kernel module), I needed to have libgii and libggi static libraries. I had to roll my own libgii and libggi ebuilds to get the static libraries before I could continue compiling.

This is just my particular need, but it seems reasonable that libraries that provide linking static versions in the upstream source build should also have that ability in the ebuild. DirectFB has similar support for building static libraries based on the 'static' use flag.

you don't need libgii.

get my ebuild for qemu-0.6.2_pre from my devspace
