Hi!  :-)

Andreas Enge <andreas <at> enge.fr> skribis:

The goal should be to build shared libraries only.  If that’s already
happening without passing ‘-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON’, I agree we can drop
it, in an effort to keep the package definition minimal.

Romain, could you confirm that ‘-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON’ is indeed
unnecessary and send a new version without it if it is?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
