[Nix-dev] Re: [PATCH] urweb compiler enable -static flag

Hi Karn,

just a minor nitpick: static libraries are disabled by default by the
generic builder. If you need static libraries, the way to do it, IMHO,
is to set:

  dontDisableStatic = yes;

The advantage is that the --disable-static flag won't be passed to
configure at all, whereas your patch ends up configuring the package
with "--disable-static --enable-static", which feels awkward.

Take care,
Peter
