.la files are coming back

solskogen · 2005-11-13 21:02:47

I do not have any .la files in my system. But when I try compiling imlib2 (from e17`s cvs repo) it still creates some .la files.
I was under the impression if you dont have any .la files, it wont build new either. I`m I wrong?

Is there a way of checking why a .la file is built?

Yes - there's a way of slaying packages that you build which contain .la files:

find $startdir/pkg -name '*.la' -exec rm {} ;

You want to put that in your PKGBUILDs.

I`m building e17 but not with PKGBUILD`s. I`m wondering why the .la files come back.

Because you don't do what Gullible Jones told you.

Gullible Jones · 2005-11-13 21:37:46

And why aren't you using PKGBUILDs? :?

There are no official packages for e17-cvs, and I like having, at least, the feeling of having control.

You're in more control if you write a PKGBUILD to install the files for you.

solskogen: You may wanna use my pkgbuilds and installgui for e17...it is slayed of all *.la files

just make e17_build_gui.sh executable and change the first variables then just execut it

UPDATE: New version of the script, does not require editing the code
although it has not been properly tested, but it should work
