Please add static libraries for OSX to the repository about openconnect-gui HOT 9 CLOSED

Currently the only way to build on OSX is via MacPorts. That is, until there is a maintainer for an OSX package.

What do you mean by "until there is a maintainer"? Since openconnect-gui is in Ports there must be a maintainer already. Someone has compiled it for Ports and I'd expect it's the one that maintains this repo (would only be natural, no?).

from openconnect-gui.

There is a MacPorts maintainer but that is irrelevant to your question. Macports requires no binaries to be shipped by the project. If we have a maintainer for an OSX binary package it would make sense to ship binary libraries. Until that time I don't think I can help you (I don't even have OSX).

from openconnect-gui.

I see. Too bad then. I'd write a better (native) GUI client for openconnect if I'd had the libs. But without them a good chance will be lost.

from openconnect-gui.

Why don't you use the libs compiled by the macports package?

from openconnect-gui.

Unfortunately, there are no libs. It's just a single binary (static libs, remember?).

from openconnect-gui.

But if you were able to link with static libs, these should be available somewhere in your system.

from openconnect-gui.

I can't link, since I don't have the static libs. This enhancement request is exactly about this.

from openconnect-gui.

If I understand correctly how macports works, it downloads the sources, compiles, links and gives you the executable. In that process it downloads the libraries you wanted, and links with them (statically). So if you build the macports package you already have the openconnect library somewhere.
