What system are you talking about?
- patrakov 2y agoAny modern distro. Static libraries are simply not built anymore, so you have nothing to link with, unless you rebuild the whole subsystem yourself.
- hedora 2y agoIf that's true, it'll be the second thing I check after making sure a distro I'm considering isn't using systemd. Anyway, you had me worried for a minute, but: https://packages.debian.org/source/bookworm/libs/ https://packages.debian.org/source/bookworm/libs/ Click on a C library. Click on the *-dev package. There's a 1:1 mapping of .so to .a in the packages I spot checked. Now I'll go back to enjoying Devuan.
