Thank you Paul for you answer !
I just compiled my binary with -static , but when I try to execute it is
says : no such file or directory
the file is 755
is there a way to show which libraries are included into my static binary ?
Yes, ldd:
>ldd ./exim
ldd: exim: not a dynamic executable
If your binary is staticly linked you will find your output is as above,
otherwise you will get a list of libaries it is linked against.
I suggest you run exim with debug options to see what goes wrong. And/or
make sure that you actually start the binary; your output looks
suspcious enough to come from some kind of shell, not exim itself.
Mind you that if you DO want exim in a chroot, compiling the binary
static is not enough. You will have to create path's, populate some
files in the chroot's etc and so forth.
But I think chroot-ing exim was not what you are trying to do, but just
to be sure...

I used:
LDFLAGS=-static
... in the Makefile. Don't know if this is the best place to put it,
but it worked ;-)
I used this to run exim in a FreeBSD jail (but you could use this with
chroot too of course).
