There is a bit of a trick needed for CMake due to support for loaded
commands. We link statically against everything but libc and libdl.
In order to work with the system libc on every other machine you need
to build with the oldest glibc you can find. We used to use an old
glibc 2.0 system to build binaries but that old machine died so now we
use a glibc 2.3 system. A few years ago that may have been a problem
but no one has complained yet about needing glibc 2.3. For the few
people that have such old systems they can build from source.
More excellent info, thanks again.
Like my project, CMake appears to be a C++ based one. Does one need to
add a c++ lib to the above list (along with libc and libdl) to the list
of special libs? Presumably not, but I'm checking just to make sure.
No, the C++ library can be linked statically. That is why we build GCC
with the --disable-shared option. If on the other hand you have several
executables that share code from big libraries then you might consider
doing a shared library build which needs a different, somewhat
complicated approach.
