Hello, I rebuilt the executable. Yes it does build but it still contains shared libraries. 'configure --with-ldflags=-Bstatic'.
The static flag does indeed gets added but the dyamic libraries are still being pulled in and I can see them by performing an ' ldd'. I looked at the rest of the static explanation. NETSNMPDIR=/usr/local/build/snmp/full-clean-cvs-V5-1-patches NETSNMPCONFIG=$(NETSNMPDIR)/net-snmp-config NETSNMPBASECFLAGS := $(shell $(NETSNMPCONFIG) --base-cflags) NETSNMPINCLUDES := $(shell $(NETSNMPCONFIG) --build-includes $(NETSNMPDIR)) # base flags after build/src include, in case it has /usr/local/include NETSNMPCFLAGS=$(NETSNMPINCLUDES) $(NETSNMPBASECFLAGS) NETSNMPBASELIBS := $(shell $(NETSNMPCONFIG) --base-agent-libs) NETSNMPEXTLIBS := $(shell $(NETSNMPCONFIG) --external-agent-libs) NETSNMPLIBDIRS := $(shell $(NETSNMPCONFIG) --build-lib-dirs $(NETSNMPDIR)) NETSNMPLIBDEPS := $(shell $(NETSNMPCONFIG) --build-lib-deps $(NETSNMPDIR)) LIB_DEPS=$(NETSNMPLIBDEPS) LIBS=$(NETSNMPLIBDIRS) -Wl,-Bstatic $(NETSNMPBASELIBS) -Wl,-Bdynamic $(NETSNMPEXTLIBS) STRICT_FLAGS = -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes CFLAGS=-I. $(NETSNMPCFLAGS) $(STRICT_FLAGS) This replaces the standard Makefile section, which will used installed libraries: NETSNMPCONFIG=net-snmp-config # uncomment this if you have GNU make #NETSNMPCFLAGS := $(shell $(NETSNMPCONFIG) --base-cflags) #NETSNMPLIBS := $(shell $(NETSNMPCONFIG) --agent-libs) NETSNMPCFLAGS=`$(NETSNMPCONFIG) --base-cflags` NETSNMPLIBS=`$(NETSNMPCONFIG) --agent-libs` LIBS=$(NETSNMPLIBS) The below section in the Makefile? Which Makefile? The standard Makefile section does not contains any of the definitions. Do we have a set of static libraries I can use to replace the share libaries? I'm using 5.1.2 for linux red-hat.
