Dear list, (especially Hans and Luigi)<br>
<br>
Would it be possible to have the build system generate static libraries<br>
of the executables as well? That is to say, instead of generating<br>
luatex.exe, generate luatex.a which can then be turned into an<br>
executable in one linking step.<br>
<br>
The rationale is that I want to link additional static and/or dynamic<br>
libraries into LuaTeX but I don't want to go through the whole trouble<br>
of adding these libraries to the build system. If there was a single<br>
static library `lua(jit)tex.a' which I could be used like<br>
<br>
gcc -o myluatex luatex.a<br>
<br>
then this would become very easy.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Could be doable if we keep a very simple API (kind of: one function to set up options and one function to run).</div><div>You can locally clone the svn repo and play a bit with the code, taking the win32 as reference.</div><div> </div></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature">luigi<br></div></div>
