After surveying other packages that have reduced libraries as well as looking into mklibs.sh itself I made a patch for libdetect to make a pic lib. I don't produce anything other than the *_pic.a and mklibs.sh is happy. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=85638&repeatmerged=yes from the patch: + # This builds the pic library + ar cqv $(topdir)/src/libdetect_pic.a $(topdir)/src/*.lo Note that the patch also includes another set of changes that rip out my poorly though out libdetect-udeb. That's all I did, and it worked. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
