Re: libqt5x11extras5-dev should contain libQt5X11Extras.a?

[Axel Kittenberger <axkibe@gmail.com>]

Thanks for you explanation, I understand the idea behind this.

However, on the same time, for example, qttools5-dev:amd64

does provide /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5UiTools.a

So it's not consistent?

Anyway on the matter at hand, I decided worrying too much about static compiling, since it's not working as easy as expected (because I suppose not many people do this). So I'll just package the needed .so files along the binary with a small wrapper setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to "."

Kind regards, Axel

Hello,

I'm trying to statically compile a binary for easy distribution across versions (it's opensource anyway).

Did I miss something? Or shouldn't there be a libQt5X11Extras.a file on my system available for static linking after installing libqt5x11extras5-dev?

(debian buster)

You will not be able to do so with Debian packages. We do not provide static libs on purpose, it's done to avoid their use within Debian packages.

Kind regards, Lisandro.
