Wish I could get some examples of static apps building against the static libperl (since in my microcosm, everything builds against what perl tells it to with perl -V:libperl, which is libperl.a only because that's what the main perl ebuild builds right now). i won't claim to be sold on the concept, but i think i can work with it. Thanks mike :) And see - an almost -dev question on dev, who woulda thunk. ~the other mike -- -----o()o---------------------------------------------- Michael Cummings | #gentoo-dev, #gentoo-perl Gentoo Perl Dev | on irc.freenode.net Gentoo/SPARC Gentoo/AMD64 GPG: 0543 6FA3 5F82 3A76 3BF7 8323 AB5C ED4E 9E7F 4E2E -----o()o---------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
