Hi all, OpenSuse is apparently getting rid of all static libraries. I tend to agree, static libraries are almost always the wrong thing to do (think bug fixes and maintenance updates). In order to help, I have just modified the libsensors build system to make it possible to skip the static library. It is more efficient than letting it build and then just not installing it. If you want to skip building of the static library, all you have to do is change: BUILD_STATIC_LIB := 1 to BUILD_STATIC_LIB := 0 in the main Makefile. Or alternatively, build with: make BUILD_STATIC_LIB=0 (Then don't forget to also pass this parameter to "make install".) I am curious what the policy of other distributions is. If nobody is interested in the static library then maybe it would make sense to change the default to 0? -- Jean Delvare
