You can't do this due to the way imlib2 was designed to work with loader modules. So shared lib linking only. Evas is similar but actually can be built in a way to inline loaders too and then allow for functional static linking. Evas is what replaced Imlib2. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - [email protected]
