From 7d9c0df074ef412fe5012ad6e2b4d96e04c95859 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Brodkin Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2014 18:34:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Config.in: update description of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB With time BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB option meaning changed from "prefer static libs when possible" to "do not build dynamic libs and build statically linked applications". This patch changes the option description. Note that variable name is kept unchanged on purpose - it will be modified later when real "prefer static" mode will be introduced.
