[I think it's about Linux] We had complaints from 2 or 3 people regarding this. Static libraries are not included because: - they are not used to build CCP4 - Fortran and C++ libraries have compiler-specific ABI (in particular, Intel Fortran and GFortran binaries are not compatible) - during the last 2 years we've added dozens libraries (mostly 3rd-party ones), some of them are used by python extensions and must be compiled as DSOs. So we'd need to decide for which ones we provide static versions. If more people need it, we could include header files and maybe static libraries built with the most popular compiler (GCC) for libccp4, mmdb, clipper (what else?). > Is a source distribution > available that matches the file versions used to build a given binary > install ? source tarball is available from the CCP4 download page > I've built libraries via JHBuild but this seems oriented towards > building the current development sources rather than those from the last > release. It's for both. If you use static libraries you can use the latest version as well. But if you prefer version 6.4.0 the easiest way is to download the source tarball.
