Fully static may be achieved with cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG=-static /path/to/source I assume you compile CMake using cmake and not bootstrapping it. CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_<BUILDTYPE> specifies an extra linker flags when building executable. Doing this spit warning like: ".../Utilities/cmcurl/hostip4.c:183: warning: Using 'gethostbyname_r' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking" If you dig into the CMake ML, I think you should find some discussion about the issue you may have to get fully static executable on Linux or more precisely with glibc. Stackoverflow has some entry on the subject as well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3430400/linux-static-linking-is-dead You may try to get rid of libgcc and libstdc++ using -static-libgcc and -static-libstdc++ see http://www.trilithium.com/johan/2005/06/static-libstdc/ Are you sure you really need fully static executable? -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
