Hello folks. I'm trying to distribute a project that depends on several libraries and in order to make it easier to end users, I'd like to provide them with self-contained binaries linked against static libs (so that they don't have to install these libs).
I ran ./configure --disable-shared && make clean all LDFLAGS='-static -all-static' and ended up with this: /bin/sh ../../../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -Wall -Wno-unused-label -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-parameter -DDEFAULT_XTC_REPOSITORY="\"/usr/local/share/xrm/XTC\"" -g -O2 -static -all-static -o pctl-to-abox pctl-to-abox.o -L/nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib -L/nix/store/1m81p5qp9khb0bjscfmwgk8k0w6kq1h8-aterm-2.4.2/lib -lstratego-lib -lstratego-lib-native -lstratego-runtime -lm -lATerm -L/nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib -L/nix/store/1m81p5qp9khb0bjscfmwgk8k0w6kq1h8-aterm-2.4.2/lib -lstratego-runtime -lm -lATerm -L/nix/store/1m81p5qp9khb0bjscfmwgk8k0w6kq1h8-aterm-2.4.2/lib -lATerm -L/nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib -L/nix/store/1m81p5qp9khb0bjscfmwgk8k0w6kq1h8-aterm-2.4.2/lib -lstratego-xtc -lstratego-lib -lstratego-lib-native -lstratego-runtime -lm -lATerm -L/nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib -L/nix/store/1m81p5qp9khb0bjscfmwgk8k0w6kq1h8-aterm-2.4.2/lib -lstratego-lib -lstratego-lib-native -lstratego-runtime -lm -lATerm -L/nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib -L/nix/store/1m81p5qp9khb0bjscfmwgk8k0w6kq1h8-aterm-2.4.2/lib -lstratego-runtime -lm -lATerm -L/nix/store/1m81p5qp9khb0bjscfmwgk8k0w6kq1h8-aterm-2.4.2/lib -lATerm mkdir .libs gcc -Wall -Wno-unused-label -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-parameter -DDEFAULT_XTC_REPOSITORY=\"/usr/local/share/xrm/XTC\" -g -O2 -static -o pctl-to-abox pctl-to-abox.o -L/nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib -L/nix/store/1m81p5qp9khb0bjscfmwgk8k0w6kq1h8-aterm-2.4.2/lib /nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib/libstratego-xtc.so -L/nix/store/99xjvlhngd4a4ljj7pdnk1fhi3x4z5qw-aterm-2.4.2/lib /nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib/libstratego-lib.so /nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib/libstratego-lib-native.so /nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib/libstratego-runtime.so /nix/store/99xjvlhngd4a4ljj7pdnk1fhi3x4z5qw-aterm-2.4.2/lib/libATerm.so -lm /nix/store/1m81p5qp9khb0bjscfmwgk8k0w6kq1h8-aterm-2.4.2/lib/libATerm.so /usr/bin/ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `/nix/store/09058krddyr8vwqk97yqz47jd111x1xl-strategoxt/lib/libstratego-xtc.so' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I don't know why libtool always wants to pick up the .so instead of the .a, for each lib I use I have the .la and .a along with the .so (in the same folder). In case you ask, the project I'm trying to distribute is available (GPL) at https://svn.lrde.epita.fr/svn/xrm/trunk/ but it has many dependencies that are "hard" to install (because it uses the Stratego language so you'd need to install the Stratego Compiler if you want to try to reproduce my problem. BTW the Stratego Compiler produces standard C99 code that I then compile with GCC). libtool --version = ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.22 Debian 1.5.22-4 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06) Thanks -- SIGOURE Benoit aka Tsuna _____ /EPITA\ Promo 2008, LRDE _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
