I know you can do shared libs with no-MMU systems, I've already used
FDPIC on Blackfin, thanks.
I didn't mean those two things to be bound together. But it's well
known that :
* Some packages do not support static build
* Some packages do not support no-MMU
Those two sets of packages are not identical, that's why I proposed two
different options. A package that doesn't support static build should
do:
depends on !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
and all packages that do not work on !MMU should do
depends on BR2_USE_MMU
My intention is that users can't mistakenly select packages that do not
build statically and/or do not work on !MMU systems.
Is this more clear ?
Regards,
Thomas
