Re: Can't link to libpopt

You might post an issue here:

but good luck - Yaakov is not keen on fixing these type issues:
Nevertheless he fixed my problem, and very quickly too; I was linking
with -static, removing that meant that -lpopt works as expected without
having libpopt.a available. I have no idea why I had -static on the
linker line, I don't normally use static links and can't remember
putting it there, I must have done so for some reason at some point though.
I was wondering why I couldn't find any evidence of anyone else having
this problem on the Internet, I couldn't believe I was the only person
linking against popt in the world. Turns out I might be the only idiot
though :)
Thanks Steven and Yaakov.
