Agree, but wanted to clarify what the tradeoffs will be and what this means as well for confuse (which so far was sparing the ax) > However if we want to keep it, I would suggest that rather put the source in the repository, we supply pointers to the tarballs and documentation on how to build for static. In other words, the doc would basically say, untar the tarballs in the srclib directory. Specify --enable-static which will automatically look for all three libraries in the srclib directory. This will just add complexity in both sides (our configuration and the users) for no advantage IMHO. > Optionally (if desired;) we could use the --with-aprlib= --with-expat= > --with-libconfuse= that will indicate where the source is at. --with-library is really the only way to force a static library link (with sources that had been rearranged to be used without being installed) based on the autotools setup we have. agree that we are going to need to document well, how that can be done though so that users/distributions will be able to get a static ganglia if needed.
