Do we still have a reason for telling people to stick with static linkage when building fltk?
I was thinking about what our installation instructions should look like these days, and how everyone has a decent chance of having a fltk-1.3 package available and it may not be best to tell them to run off and compile fltk unless fltk-config --version doesn't tell them any good news and they can't get a pkg... and this led me to wonder about the necessity/appropriateness of static linking.
All that I found in the archive was me wondering about it last year and no one replying to me. Well, except this now. I'm replying to me, if that counts.
FWIW, I build in a Debian system now and: $ ldd dillo [...] libpng12.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 (0x00007f2c3e312000) libfltk.so.1.3 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfltk.so.1.3 (0x00007f2c3dfd0000) [...] I thought this meant it was linked with a shared version of FLTK. What am I missing? -- Cheers Jorge.-
