Hi Rafael,

Thanks for the patches. I will try and apply them in the coming few days. I have not seen any other replies and was away myself, so my reply is a trifle late.

Regards,

Arjen

Dear PLplot developers,

We are currently applying the patch attached below when building the Debian package for PLplot. It allows the creation of a static version of libplplotada, what is recommended to meet the Ada standards in Debian.

This solution is not ideal, because the new target libplplotada_static.a is created and later, in debian/rules, the following is needed in target execute_after_dh_auto_install (see [1]):

        mv debian/tmp/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libplplotada_static.a \
           debian/tmp/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libplplotada.a

My knowledge of CMake is too scarce and I could not figure out how to avoid the renaming above.

According to Nicolas Boulenguez, this change could be accompanied by a new configuration option :

     shared_library  *yes/no
     static_library  yes/*no

This schema could allow one to add a static-pic in the future.

Best,

Rafael Laboissière
