RE: LDFLAGS -static

[lrtaylor at micron dot com]

What is the actual error you are receiving?  Can you also post the
command line that is generating the error (not the configure command
line, but the actual command line that is getting executed during
build)?

What I meant is that when linking a program, you have something like
this:

gcc -o prog file1.o file2.o -L/some/path -llibrary1 -llibrary2

When linking dynamically, the ordering of the files and libraries is
pretty much irrelevant.  However, when linking statically, the libraries
used should appear on the command line after all the source (object)
files.  And, if any of the libraries depend on another library on the
command line, they should come after the libraries they depend on.  For
example, if library2 uses library1 in the example above, then they would
be ordered backwards as they are.

However, to fix that, you would need to hack the Makefiles after running
your configure script.  First post the actual error and the command line
producing it.  Then we can go from there.

Cheers,
Lyle

Thaks alot Lyle for replaying:

The static built of the labrary is there libnewt.a
the program I'm tring to build in nparted for partitioning a disk.
there is no error message I'm getting except for this library.
configure script stops before checking other libraries.
I dont know what did you mean by th elibrary is specified too early.
do you mean that i should 've done it this way ??

CFLAGS=-I/usr/include  CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/lib LDFLAGS=--static ./configure
--prefix=./here

if that's what you mean, I did't. I tried every thing. now I'm having
the
sam eproblem compiling 
dialog statically the same way. Does that help ??
I did this to make sure 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/lib:/usr/lib/:/usr/local/lib

I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong. Any help is heighly
appretiated
Again thanx alot for your help.
