No opposition. I think nobody has just noticed -static support missing. (well, ok, I did notice it yesterday, but apart from that ;) Maybe the easiest way is to make the snippet at the top of rumpuser_dl.c say "#if defined(__PIC__) && defined(__ELF__) && (...)". You still need to call domodinit() and docompload(), but since we're now talking about a statically linked binary, you can just force references to the symbols, e.g. domodload(&__start_link_set_modules, ...) Hmm, actually that will go wrong if you link a static librumpuser into a dynamically linked binary. Hmmhmm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
