This should say 'default=no' but it doesn't because configure.in still has AC_PROG_LIBTOOL which should be removed in favour of LT_INIT([disable-static]) (and LT_PREREQ). As in, should only use 1 syntaxes, not both $ ./configure --help |grep static --enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=yes] Please remove AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
thanks; fixed.
I saw the ltmain.sh commit. Why don't you use xfce4-dev-tools-4.10.0 for development? Shouldn't be hard to create a .deb for it, propably trivial. I can tell you for sure that xfce4-dev-tools-4.10.0 works for Xfce 4.8 packages, if that's the "supposed" problem.
I try to consider and respect users of older systems where only security patches are applied. My plugins should run for Xfce 4.6 as well with xfce4-dev-tools 4.6, hopefully. For myself, I no longer install Xfce and its tools via git, but just use packages from regular repositories.
