qwt can optionally be compiled statically, but the ebuild neither install them nor provide a way (USE flag?) to have them installed. (correct me if i'm wrong). Ideally both static and dynamic libs would be provided. Reproducible: Always
I believe this is a limitation of the Qt build system. You can either have dynamic or static, but not both. We just generally opt for dynamic as a default build condition.
i understand, but could it be possible a to have a USE flag 'static', disabled by default ?

yes, that's what i mean... how difficult would it be ? why isn't there such a flag already ? none of the libraries can be installed as static lib ?
it seems that now, several packages have the static-libs USE flag... It still would be great to have the qwt ebuild support this.
Wow, quite a lot actually! :-) /usr/portage% grep "IUSE.*static-libs" */*/*ebuild -l | cut -d/ -f1,2 | sort | uniq| wc -l 67

Thank you very much. I've just tested it and it works here. With the USE flag, both dynamic/static libs are installed which is just perfect. It is not currently available for qwt:6, any chance to have it for those recent versions as well ? Thanks a lot again!
I copied x11-libs/qwt-6.0.2 to x11-libs/qwt-6.0.2-r1 in my local overlay and more or less copied everything related to 'static-bulid' from the qwt:5 ebuild.

I'm not familiar with this, but i guess this was the original reason those were there.

Tested emerging both x11-libs/qwt-5.2.3-r2 and x11-libs/qwt-6.0.2-r2 It worked despite collisions in /usr/share/qwt/examples/ (~60 files i guess). Which is fine with me.
