[Splashy-devel] Static vs dynamic linking

[Eric Moret]

I found out about splashy after looking real hard for a linux user space
splash. You guys have hit a home run. This project rocks and I'd like to
have it packaged in fedora-extra. Only problem is that most static libraries
required by splashy are not available in Fedora. So I started opening fedora
bugs for various missing static libraries. As it turns out the missing
libraries were not absent by mistake and I now have to make the argument for
adding those static libraries.

Could you please help me (and the fedora maintainer) understand why splashy
is built statically and/or if that program could use dynamic libraries
instead?

Feel free to reply on the above bugzilla entry or on the mailing list.

Thanks,
