Re: wget does not compile on FreeBSD12 with openssl

[Pierre Dupond <76nemo76%gmx.ch@localhost>]

Finally, I was succesful to compile "wget" like I want: statically
linked and with libressl.

I have however consistently failed to do that with pkgsrc. Even without

wanting to have a statically linked executable (since this is not possible

on all systems), one might want to have an almost statically linked
executable (i.e.

an executable with only the dynamic libraries provided by the base
system, mainly libc

and few others).

To achieve that goal, one has to be able to compile with static
libraries. The problem

with pkgsrc is that dynamic (shared) and static libraries for any package

are always produced. The second problem is that the compiler prefers
always to use

dynamic libraries when both static and dynamic libraries are available.

I have tried to use the option "-static" in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (in file
mk.conf)

without success. After that I have tried to add in the file "mk.conf"
the instruction

"CONFIGURE_ARGS += --without-shared" with no more success (the dynamic
libraries

are always created).

At least, by using this link:
https://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/creating-local-smartos-packages.html

I was able to create package manageable with the PKGSRC tools (pkg_info,
pkg_add, pkg_delete).

In addition, to what is described in that page, one would probably
define explicitely a name

for the package by adding the directive "@name" in the file "packlist".

It would be however preferable to compile the package by using directly
the pkgsrc infrastructure.

I have then two questions:

                1) Is it possible to generate only static (or dynamic)
libraries instead of both

                   when compiling a package with PKGSRC (for instance
when compiling

                    "libunistring")

              2) How to manage efficiently with "pkg_create" files
which are

                 shared (like the "dir" file in a "GNU info"
directory). This

                 is managed by "pkgsrc", but I was unable to find how
this is

                done.


Thanks for your help,


Best regards,

Pierre
