Use --enable-static=no as a configure option.
This should be considered a bug, as it prevents building the library - and there is no good reason to build static libraries by default - if ever for OCC.

Hi
I am trying to install open cascade on linux and nothaving much luck.
i have 14 gig free on the hard drive.
i use ./configure
when i make it fills up the 14 gig!
Is there away to reduce the size
I am not very expearenced at using Linux ( the last 2 years)
So some pointer would be very helpful.
I work as a design engineer using Catia, Cadkey and Microcadam.
So i am interested in getting a look at it.
Many thanks
Peter Cole

You can get the same result with --disable-static.
I think it may be even more useful to pass --disable-dependency-tracking as that will prevent the creation of some 30,000 header dependency files for both CASCADE and anything it #includes.
