I need to make use of a port during start up, but it has library
dependencies that aren't available, before the complete library path is
established. I've tried the following:
NO_SHARED=true (added to /etc/make.conf)
make -DNO_SHARED
make LDFLAGS+=-static
Every time, running file on the compiled program tells me that the
binary is
dynamically-linked. I couldn't find anything else in any man pages, Mk
files, mailing lists, Google, etc. Sorry for the semi-inappropriate
list
choice, but this one would get swallowed up on -questions.
NO_SHARED only works on programs that use the bsd.prog.mk makefile
template; I'd guess under a dozen ports do this.
Some pieces of software have dynamic-link options hardcoded in their
Makefiles, probably as a workaround for bugs in other OSes. Those
options override -static. I can't think of a valid reason for them to
be used in FreeBSD. Search for (and remove) any occurances of
-Wl,-Bdynamic and -Wl,-Bstatic , and you should be set.
No luck on either string. I ended up getting what I wanted by going through
the source Makefile and adding -static to the appropriate line in the
target for the program I needed static-linked. Now devd can bring up my
wireless NIC at boot. Works great!
