That sounds like a valid complaint. For the benefit of those of us not familiar, how do you determine that the static lib is dynamically linked to other libs? > I'm not sure if that is a ticketable issue or if there is any way to hack > around that static/dynamic issue that Apple produced. Sounds like a valid thing to open a ticket for. Though the libsdl_mixer portfile doesn't appear to do anything special, so a plain from-source build outside of MacPorts would probably also exhibit this problem, so it's probably an upstream problem and should probably be reported there. > So, again, any way to hack the build of libsdl_mixer to link the libs > statically? I have no idea how to fix this problem. Contacting the developers of this software may be your best bet. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
