Summary: Compilation fail

Initial Comment:
Compilation fails on the test suite (at least in 
slackware 7.x and 8). This is due to the static 
linking against the glib.a libraray... maybe the 
compiler (gcc 2.95.3) should be explicitly told that 
is a static lib (static linking has always been a 
little annoying). Btw adding the -lglib flags made 
the compilation go smoothlessly

Braden has changed the build and removed the -static
compiler option.

I think this bug is just a symptom, and the real problem is
that the tests are linking statically.
If the tests are modified to link dynamically instead, this
bug should go away.

in the test suite the command line tell compiler to just use the 
glib.a file that would cos the linker to got nut and do not work 
properly.... instead of using the glib.a file using the shared library 
causes no problem at all. So i think that the linker is always 
checking for the shared library and that should be taold explicitly 
to usa static linking.... maybe with the -Wl,static flag but i am not 
sure about the correct syntax....

Francesco: Can you provide more information on this? Can you
explain how the static linking causes problems?
I don't have any problems, using gcc 2.95.4 20011006.
