#32506: x264: Update to 20111210 and add static library -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: marin.saric@… | Owner: devans@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: haspatch | Port: x264 -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by marin.saric@…): With regards to Jeremy's question about static libraries. Definitely a good question and it depends on what aspect you are looking at. There are a ton of static libraries built by MacPorts already, so I think it would be consistent to provide them for all ports offering it until there is an explicit policy by MacPorts that says that MacPorts does not support static libraries. x264 particularly benefits from a static deployment as it eliminates the problem like this one if the client links against it statically. How about this: Can we have a separate discussion of whether static libraries in MacPorts are useful? I am posting my answer to your good question in macports-dev. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32506#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
