All,
Csync2 requires librsync, libsqlite, and libssl to be installed. So I have a machine that has this stuff installed, and csync2 installs and runs just fine on that machine. I want to compile a binary of csync though, that I can copy to another machine and just run it without the extra programs. I believe statically compiling it will do the trick, but I think I did something incorrectly. I tried looking for the LDFLAGS setting in the Makefile, and setting it to "-static" without the quotes, but that didn't seem to do the trick. What am I doing wrong?

yea the problem is you can only do static linking to archive type (*.a)
library files that have been compiled using the command "ar"
/usr/bin/ar

Okay so basically the idea is to install the libraries with:

AR=/usr/bin/ar

in the Makefile?

Then I should be able to specify "-static" in the Makefile for csync and it will just work right?

Thanks,

libssl aready has a static one
don't know about the other library
generally the configure switch is --enable-static
but you just have to read ./configure --help

in the other one it most likely will work better to ad flags to configure.ac
before you do configure but i don't know.

you will jus have to mess with it and check the output to see
a) if the gcc flags are correct
b) fix other problems that might arise
