static-linking

I'm building a program with autoconf, automake, and libtool. My work requires that I statically link (most) libraries. This hasn't been a problem in the past because I could statically link everything with -all-static . Now it's a problem because I have to use a library which is only dynamic; it was given to us by a thirdparty, and we don't have the source. Of course, -all-static now causes the build to fail. Is it possible to tell libtool to statically link everything, except for this one library? Is it possible to have libtool do any combination of static and dynamic linking, or is it all or

I'm trying to build a project using a static library, so that the binary can be used even if the library isn't installed. However, I get lots of errors about undefined symbols when I try to do so. Looking at the library, I see it has tons of undefined symbols, even though it's a .a static lib: nm - u /usr/local/lib/libthis.a .... U EVP_DigestFinal_ex U EVP_DigestInit_ex U EVP_DigestUpdate U EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup U EVP_MD_CTX_init Those seem to be from openssl; others seem to be from libbzip2; etc. Questions: 1. Why does the static ( .a ) lib have dependencies on shared objects (e.g. libopenssl)

my company has recently upgraded from VS2005 to VS2010. We have a huge project which uses a lot of modules which are being linked statically into the exe. But there seem to be some issues with linking in VS2010. To explain our problem, we've built a minimal example project which is composed as shown on this graphic: There is an application using one function from library A. Library A calls one function of each library B and library C. Those two libraries call a function provided by library D. For Exe 1 under Framework and References we set everything to false except for Link Library

When I use GCC, I can build program on my Ubuntu 15.04 using this: -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ And compiled binary can run on "stock" Ubuntu 14.04 without any external packages, only standard updates. Is there possibility do build with this static linking to library with clang ? Most common answers: using test ubuntu rep ( ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test ) update server recompile on target server don't use GCC is not suitable for me. Just can I do this with clang for run it on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS? clang is compatible with gcc on this matter. Basically for hello-world program that uses iostream

I'm trying to compile using MTd in Visual Studio 2010 instead of MDd (so that the dll's are packaged in and i won't need to distribute them with my exe), but I keep getting "fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found" during compilation. MDd compiles fine but does not work without MSVCP100.dll on other computers. I'm using a static build of Qt and I'm trying to build the default Qt program that comes with the VS add-in. Is there another way to force the linker to compile statically? All I'm trying to do is distribute a Qt program as an exe without dll's. Here is the build

I would like to compile NRPE static, so I can copy the compiled binary to an OmniOS server, where I don't want gcc to be installed on. I would prefer to install NRPE with SSl support from a repository, but such doesn't seam to exist, so I would like to compile it myself. However the ./configure script doesn't contain a static option it seams ~/nrpe-2.15# ./configure --help | grep static ~/nrpe-2.15# ./configure --help | grep share --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [PREFIX/share] --sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com] Question How do I
