It means that every one of those executables ends up at > 1 MB, which seems quite excessive. It also means that you need static-devel packages on some distros, which tend to not be installed bydefault.I *think* the intention is to statically link to our own copy of libaio, but the -static flag causes us to statically link against all libraries. The correct thing might be to explicitly link in libaio.a and remove -static,but Julian will know better than me. Yep that's correct, we wanted to avoid libaio conflicts. I'll push an update to the Makefile today. - Julian -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
