Hi, I was trying to build the mjpegtools statically. By this I mean that I want to generate static binaries in my onw machine to be able to send them to another system where there is a different version of glibc and I can not install any kind of libraries.
I have tried the following: export LDFLAGS=-static as well as combining this with ./configure --enable-static-build However neither give me static binaries, although they do not depend on any of the .so from libmjpeg they do use a shared glibc. What I have noticed is that although libtool is called with -static the next line generated by libtool does not include the -static therefor not producing a static binary. Looking up libtool man page it seemed to be that I should put LDFLAGS=-all-static, however that breaks the configure, because it tries to use LDFLAGS when testing if gcc is able to generate binaries. And -all-static is not a valid gcc flag. To test my solution I added a -all-static after the configure into the makefile for some of the binaries and it worked. This is however a evil hack and should be fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
