Re: [foo-devel] is a statically linked foo the solution?

[Martin R. <fo...@ru...>]

Dear Fooers,

yes, no doubt it would be great to have a standalone version of foo with
all libraries like libsndfile etc. included.

The solution could be mac os x style foo.app which contains everything
needed.  I am working on it, please stay tuned.

All the best,

Martin
