Yes, but this would require the -u flags again... The plugins are compiled into libopenbabel.a but the symbols are not taken from the libopenbabel.a archive when linking your executable since they are not referenced. There are two solutions: * Include the plugins inside the executable (or include static_plugin.o when linking) * Undefine the symbols explicitly at link time using the -u flag to ensure the symbols are taken from libopenbabel.a However, I just pushed the changes to include inchi in the static builds and you could use this command line to create a static_plugins.o that contains all plugins: (run this after compiling) tim...@timvdm-desktop:~/openbabel-gitsvn/build_static$ g++ -Wl,-r -o static_plugins.o -nostdlib src/CMakeFiles/openbabel.dir/charges/*.o src/CMakeFiles/openbabel.dir/descriptors/*.o src/CMakeFiles/openbabel.dir/fingerprints/*.o src/CMakeFiles/openbabel.dir/forcefields/*.o src/CMakeFiles/openbabel.dir/formats/*.o src/CMakeFiles/openbabel.dir/formats/xml/*.o src/CMakeFiles/openbabel.dir/ops/*.o tim...@timvdm-desktop:~/openbabel-gitsvn/build_static$ ls static_plugins.o -lh -rw-r--r-- 1 timvdm timvdm 65M 2010-10-21 01:16 static_plugins.o tim...@timvdm-desktop:~/openbabel-gitsvn/build_static$ objdump -t static_plugins.o | grep _ZTVN9OpenBabel11InChIFormatE 0000000000000000 l d .rodata._ZTVN9OpenBabel11InChIFormatE 0000000000000000 .rodata._ZTVN9OpenBabel11InChIFormatE 0000000000000000 w O .rodata._ZTVN9OpenBabel11InChIFormatE 00000000000000a8 .hidden _ZTVN9OpenBabel11InChIFormatE tim...@timvdm-desktop:~/openbabel-gitsvn/build_static$ g++ -Iinclude -I../include -static ../doc/examples/static_executable/myexe.cpp static_plugins.o -o myexe src/libopenbabel.a src/formats/inchi103/libinchi.a -Wl,-Bstatic -lxml2 -lz ... tim...@timvdm-desktop:~/openbabel-gitsvn/build_static$ ./myexe ... lists all plugins ... The command first line "merges" all the object files in a single static_plugins.o. There is probably a better way but at least you should now be able to make a static executable with all plugins.
