Re: [Dev-luatex] Building luatex on i386-darwin

i hate that since for users there are many ways to screw that up

I concurr. And I think dynamic linking has never been the trend in the TeX world anyway (apart from XeTeX, which is yet another story); for example I have never seen a libkpathsea.so, but only static libraries which are sometimes installed in $SELFAUTOPARENT/lib or so (but never used, I guess). Even for things like ttf2tfm which are closely related to freetype or to some other "big" library, the binaries seem to be statically linked. Arthur
