Re: [libvirt] [PATCH libvirt-glib] Disable static libraries by default

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; Every source file is currently built twice by libtool, once for the shared library and once for the static library. Static libs are not commonly packaged by distros and slow down compilation time by as more than 50% compared to a shared-only build time.

Time for non-parallel make shared only: 52 secs shared + static: 1 min 26 secs Those few people who really want them, can pass --enable-static to configure Disabling them by default requires use of LT_INIT. We don't need to support older libtool, so drop use of AM_PROG_LIBTOOL entirely --- configure.ac | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-)
