Hello, can someone make the libnvtt.a  ?

There's no present libnvtt.a for static linking. Thanks.

Update it to https://github.com/castano/nvidia-texture-tools


And if someone can make the libnvtt.a i need it very fast.  Thanks.

Uppppp, please. xD

nvidia-texture-tools does not support building static and shared libraries at the same time, and switching to static libraries will break dependent ports. MASTER_SITES and WWW update committed, thank you.

Can you please just make a patch for ports and post it here?
So i can compile myself with ports.

Or maybe a option in ports

make static

(In reply to fcsk.aim from comment #3)

I'd be fine with the option as long as it were compatible with other ports.

Patch is doable though, follows.

Allright, thanks. :D

One more request, and i'm done.
Can't you compile static nvtt.a and add it intro package repository ?
I mean when packages are installed with pkg they are downloaded from a repository with precompiled libs and builds.
Can't you make libnvtt.a for packages ?
This will not break the ports.

I never used ports, always used pkg.

Please stop this, ports is no place to requests tweaks for your custom needs. Static libs in nvidia-texture-tools is not comaptible with other ports, so there's no way for it to end up in the official package repository, period.
