Re: [evince] Building libevince as a static library

[Hib Eris <hib hiberis nl>]

Hi Richard,

When I build the 'official' Evince for Windows I always build it with
shared libraries. I have no experience with building it statically.

I think it is like this: libevdocument is evince's library to handle
documents. You can dynamically add plugins for handeling different
document formats. So for pdf documents Evince uses a libpdfdocument
plugin. I think these plugins are always shared libraries.
When you statically compile libevdocument, it still looks for shared
library plugins like libpdfdocument.dll. So I think you should not add
'--disable-shared' to your configure.

Regards,

Hib Eris
