Are there no packages in common usage where the glibc library routines are linked directly into the executables?
Someone told me this was possible, but I have no clue.
AFAIK, this is only done by proprietary packages, so that they distribute a single binary package for all the distributions. It may be done also by some programs intended for rescue operations.
Normally, anything distributed by openSUSE is using dynamic, runtime, linking. I think there is a policy about this.
A static library is still a library. Shared libs are *.so Statics are *.a. Look around your system and see if you have a glibc*.a file anywhere.
And how does it matter? How having static library on your system is related to having programs statically linked with this library? Static library is needed on build system to link with; it is not needed on target system where program is installed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
