Not every upstream ships static libraries per default. So it is with graphite2. Here there's not even a option to build them AFAICS. So it's not missing, it's simply not there. And I am not going to "invent" it and patch around in the cmake (brrr...) build system for something which is/should be discouraged. [ The build system builds static libraries, but only "basic" ones for the tests. Those maybe could be misused, but whether that will work... find . -name "*.a" ./build/tests/libgraphite2-base.a ./build/tests/vm/libvm-test-common.a ./build/tests/libgraphite2-segcache.a And LO creates a static library just by custom-compiling all files and putting them into an .a...] Regards, Rene
