Hello,
1/ Thank you very much Edward Berner. You rock my world.
Of course, embedded system must use light libc...
I've seen that some software uses dietlibc.
In my point of view, static linking can be done in this area, so it will be
easier to spread Fossil everywhere with network support.
2/ I find that strange that a software needs manifest fix to compile without
errors.
I agree with you that maybe it is what I've done (fossil close) that may did
this...
3/ Could you help Fossil team with dietlibc ?
4/ Crashing...
I do compile Fossil in Porteus to unsure that _if_ it is possible to compile in
Porteus, it will be possible EVERYWHERE to compile it WITHOUT issues.
I do use Porteus 64 bit for that purpose. And I do run the resulting binary in
Porteus 64 bit either... :-)
The "Crashing" thing occur when I do compile with --static option...
5/ Question: why is it a DNS resolver issue ?
Best Regards
K.

I think that for static linking on Linux you may need to look at what
the embedded Linux folks are doing. I think the alternate libc
libraries (musl libc, uclibc, dietlibc, etc.) have static linking as an
explicit design goal.

I'd guess that it's crashing in the DNS resolver, although I wouldn't expect it
to crash if it is running on the same host it was built on. I played with the
static linking stuff a while back and I think I saw this behavior when I
compiled on a 64 bit Ubuntu and ran on a 32 bit, or something like that.

The "fossil close" caused the problem below...

If a repository's "manifest" setting is on then the "manifest" and
"manifest.uuid" files are included in the checkout directory when a repository
is opened with "fossil open" (and in the files created by the "fossil zip" and
"fossil tarball" commands). But they're removed by "fossil close".
Fossil requires the "manifest" and "manifest.uuid" files to build, so you'll
need to get them back. Running "fossil open" again would probably do it.
