I have been having a problem building ethereal_static. It would
proceed to a certain point and then link forever ( OK, not quite
forever, but I've never had ANYTHING take over 1 hour to link, so
I cut off it's oxygen at that point).
I made a small alteration to the Makefile.am ( adding the "-all-static"
to the {tethereal,ethereal}_static_LDADD ) and now ethereal_static
links just fine.
Now ethereal_static links just fine, but will not run if you are
using a theme which requires gdk_imlib ( which is most pixmap based
themes). Switching to the default gtk theme resolves the problem. In case
anyone else sees this problem I'm going to include the error I got from
running ethereal_static at the end of this message so the next poor
sap who goes searching through google trying to figure out this
problem can find something.
