Compile the Python interpreter statically?

Question

I\'m building a special-purpose embedded Python interpreter and want to avoid having dependencies on dynamic libraries so I want to compile the interpreter with static libra

Answer 1

CPython CMake Buildsystem offers an alternative way to build Python, using CMake.

It can build python lib statically, and include in that lib all the modules you want. Just set CMake's options

BUILD_SHARED                     OFF
BUILD_STATIC                     ON

and set the BUILTIN_ you want to ON.
