There is a new pull request by arp242 against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/arp242/void-packages xcb-static https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/31959 Install static libraries for libxcb-devel So you can statically link against X programs; since libX11 links against libxcb this is impossible now. Either I'm not understanding how static linking works (AFAIK you *need* the .a file?), or this is a very unpopular thing to do as it's been like this for 9 years (changed in commit 9526648, in 2012) 🤔 #### General - [ ] This is a new package and it conforms to the [quality requirements](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/Manual.md#quality-requirements) #### Have the results of the proposed changes been tested? - [ ] I use the packages affected by the proposed changes on a regular basis and confirm this PR works for me - [ ] I generally don't use the affected packages but briefly tested this PR A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/31959.patch is attached
