Hi, Sorry for all the questions lately, it's just, some of them I don't see an easy answer for in the manual. If there is an easy answer to this question, maybe I'll append a small example to the manual. I already use, AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS to configure the readline subpackage. However, by default the readline library builds both shared and static libraries. --enable-shared build shared libraries [default=YES] --enable-static build static libraries [default=YES] I know that when I am building the readline library, I only want the static libraries. Is there a way to pass in --disable-shared to the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS? BTW, CGDB currently doesn't use any shared libraries, so if there is a global setting I can use, that would currently be fine.
