I'm sure it's technically possible, but is it really worth it? I mean libopenct0 is 200K on your drive, is it really that much of a burden. OpenSC could be rewritten to open those libs dynamically rather than as a shared lib, but that would be quite a bit of work, for a not a really strong benefit. If you really don't think people will want to use both openct and libpcsclite, I could compile two different versions of opensc. One with openct and one with pcsc. But I think there may be situations where people want both, and again, is this all to just save 200K? -- Eric Dorland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1024D/16D970C6 097C 4861 9934 27A0 8E1C 2B0A 61E9 8ECF 16D9 70C6 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s++: a-- C+++ UL+++ P++ L++ E++ W++ N+ o K- w+ O?
