Description Vincent Untz 2011-07-25 21:21:54 UTC 
As there's no pkg-config file nor headers installed anymore, it makes no sense to install libgnome-control-center as a shared library, and it should simply be compiled statically.

I'm unsure if it was kept this way because it was forgotten, or if it's because the architecture with the panels make it hard for the build system to not have the shared library.

I'm pretty certain that would break some OSes, where the generated module needs to have all of its symbols resolved internally or through one of its libraries.

If I'm mistaken, then we can do that as soon as I've had the time to clean up gnome-bluetooth's and the panel so it can be integrated into gnome-control-center proper.
