I propose eliminating the -static option from the build-xorg script and making that behavior the default. I'm struggling to think of a reason why anyone would want to use build-xorg to do a dynamic build, since it causes Xvnc to depend on the specific versions of the X11 dynamic libraries that build-xorg generates. This has been the source of at least one misunderstanding on more recent systems, where the dynamically-linked Xvnc didn't work properly because it was picking up the system libraries instead. Since build-xorg is designed for building on legacy systems, I think it's fair to assume that anyone who uses it will want to generate a static build. Correct me if I'm wrong.
While we're on the subject of build-xorg-- Pierre and Peter, you had mentioned that Cendio is successfully using Xorg 7.5 with it. Can you give me more details about your build platform? I have yet to successfully build Xorg 7.5 with build-xorg, and I don't think anyone else has, either. I would like to move to Xorg 7.5 in trunk and eliminate 7.4 support, if I can figure out how to successfully build 7.5 using a "reasonably reproducible" procedure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
