Monolithic / static compiling

jago25_98 · 03-24-2004, 12:22 PM

How can I compile any program so that all it's dependancies are included in the final static binary?

For example, how could I compile ssh so that it runs from just one command and has no dependant libraries.

I ask this because I'm using space tight systems with few commands and therefore code sharing more hassel than it's worth.

TIA!

I *think* you should be able to do it by using "make LDFLAGS=-static" instead of your normal "make" command.

Also have a look at "./configure -h" to see if there is actually a configure option for building staticly.
