Re: [gtk-list] Re: static link w/gtk

[Christopher Seawood <cls seawood org>]

I don't quite understand why some people fail to see the need for a way to
link statically using the same methods you use to link dynamically w/o
needing to recompile the entire package.  Here are a couple of patches
against glib 1.1.5 & gtk+ 1.1.5 that allow you to link statically by
using --static-libs instead of --libs with either glib-config or
gtk-config.

Regards,
Christopher
