Here I agree completely. I have always been puzzled by the naming of this
knob. But it was the only way to achieve the goal. It is now a different
knob entirely -- but under the same name, which is quite confusing.
I am thinking, however, of something explicit like:
WANT_SHARED_LIB ?= yes
WANT_STATIC_LIB ?= yes
WANT_PIC_LIB ?= yes
with the existing NOPROFILE and others to remain as "compatibility"
interfaces for a while, for example:
.ifndef WANT_PIC_LIB
.ifndef NOPROFILE
WANT_PIC_LIB = yes
.else
WANT_PIC_LIB = no
.endif
.endif
The last change broke not only some ports, but who knows how many
personal projects, which where doing the Right Thing (IMO) and used
the bsd.*.mk
I will not have time to make a patch in a while :-\, however...
Any way to determine quickly from inside the Makefile, which version
of the bsd.lib.mk is installed?
