<p dir="auto">Hello all,<br>
First off, please forgive me if I am doing this wrong, this is my first attempt at using Gitlab, I am used to using Github for source management and I could not find a mailing list for questions.<br>
Anyways, I was following along with the <code>INSTALL.md</code> to build an archive file but I believe the INSTALL documentation is a bit outdated. It seems that the static archive is only buildable with the flag <code>--enable-static</code>. The current documentation says that the default behavior is to build both static and shared libraries. After reading the NEWS file and checking out <a href="https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/commit/a88eb79d88c53531c49d7cedfce2207f36ac8a9d" data-original="this" data-link="true" data-link-reference="true" data-project="179611" data-commit="a88eb79d88c53531c49d7cedfce2207f36ac8a9d" data-reference-type="commit" data-container="body" data-placement="top" title="disable static library build by default" class="gfm gfm-commit has-tooltip">this</a> commit, it seems the default build process has changed.</p>
<p dir="auto">I noticed a similar documentation for building and installing Nettle but did not change it since it seems that those instructions are still true: Nettle will still build both static and shared files by default.</p>
<p dir="auto">Since this is just a documentation issue, I don't think there is much else to be done other than fixing the build instructions but please let me know if there is anything more I can do.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks,<br>
Nick</p>
