wiringPi is no-longer shipped with the ability to statically link it. |
|
|
|
Many reasons but the biggest issue is people who have statically linked |
|
wiringPi into their product - for example a Pi UPS device or a Tetris-like |
|
game and not subsequently shipped their modified sources. These people are |
|
no better than common thieves with complete disregard to the conditions |
|
of the LGPL that wiringPi ships with. |
|
|
|
Additionally, many think it's a good idea to statically link wiringPi |
|
into their favourite language - like Node, and Java and other itsy bitsy |
|
little things. These people have a complete and utter disregard to what |
|
happens underneath when e.g. the Linux kernel changes on the Pi then |
|
wiringPi stops as it depends on some Pi kernel features, then the poor |
|
user get in-touch with me and I've had over 10,000 emails so-far and |
|
it's now beyond a joke. |
|
|
|
DO NOT STATICALLY LINK WIRINGPI. |
