All,
There is something about the building of plugins that I don't get.
This is what I usually configure :
./configure --enable-static=no --prefix=/usr
(according to configure --help this enable=static=no is default anyways)
Then simply 'make' and a quick cop of coffee later everything is built.
However, when I do 'make' again (or 'make install') always the static
part of all the plugins is compiled again (see attached part of make output).
Obviously this is rather annoying.
But why are we building these 'static' objects anyway ?
- using ./configure --enable-static=yes doesn't seem to include the plugins
into the main ethereal binary anyway
- do the licenses allow building plugins into the main binary ?
Regards,
Ruud Linders
