Yes, for anybody who wants to statically link the GLX OpenGL library :) Most other -dev packages in Debian provide static libraries, since they're very useful for testing. My specific use case is in making an interposer library. I need to re-export hundreds of OpenGL functions unchanged while providing replacements for a couple; it is possible to do this using dlopen, but unwieldy since I must write a stub for every function. Having a static library available would make this trivial. - Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
