Statically compiling on Linux

Post by niko »

I tried to compile the latest wesnoth sources statically, but after all, the executable file have a dinamically linked libraries.

What i'm doing wrong?

Code: Select all

/tmp/wesnoth-1.0.2$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/wesnoth --enable-static
/tmp/wesnoth-1.0.2$ make
/tmp/wesnoth-1.0.2$ make install
But ldd shows this:

Code: Select all

/tmp/wesnoth-1.0.2$ cd ../wesnoth
/tmp/wesnoth$ ldd ./bin/wesnoth

As far as I can tell, --enable-static has been broken for a long time (it just prepends libtool --mode-link to the usual command line, which doesn't seem to be right). I posted a commandline to generate a static binary for Mac OS X in a message to the dev list a while back: https://mail.gna.org/public/wesnoth-dev ... 00020.html
