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

I think certain features are dependent on the dynamic loader to work things out at run time. static linking is no longer practical unfortunately http://people.redhat.com/drepper/no_static_linking.html
