Bug 19706 – ext2resize could easily support USE=static

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-04-21 03:26:46 UTC]

Recently while wanting attempting to resize a ext3 partition, I realized that
it would be nice to be able to merge ext2resize with USE=static.

Seemed pretty simple so here is a patch.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE=static emerge ext2resize

Actual Results:  
ext2resize what merged with dynamic linking.

Expected Results:  
ext2resize what merged with static linking.

patch to add USE=static support to ext2resize

I hope I got this right.  I copied the textutils ebuild.  It seems like
it should use LDFLAGS=-static for configure so it actually checks to make sure
the system supports static linking but that may be a pathological case.

Hmm... is this also the sort of thing that should be put in / instead of /usr?

That sounds like a really good idea to me.
