Create statically-linked binary that uses getaddrinfo?

Question

I have included the header netdb.h, where getaddrinfo is included, but gcc issues this warning:

warning: Using \'getaddrinfo\' in s         


        

Answer 1

glibc uses libnss to support a number of different providers for address resolution services. Unfortunately, you cannot statically link libnss, as exactly what providers it loads depends on the local system's configuration.
