Anyone working on this? Yes. Think about what happens when you give a g++28 shared compiled binary to someone else? What if they don't have glibstdc++ installed? The ld.so will grab the the shared lib from /usr/lib and the binary will blowup. I've had several complaints about this. What is the problem? Is it just a space issue? I can't believe anyone writing C++ code is worried about that. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
