RE: Gcc static linking problems

["Tim Purkerson" <timp at apcon dot com>]

Thanks Meng.

I used ldd on my program. The library libstdc++.so.5 is still listed.

I also added the LD_OPTIONS = -Bstatic. This caused problems with the
library gcc_s. The linker is looking for libgcc_s.a, but not finding it.
Even if I put a -Bdynamic in front of it or list libgcc_s.so.1
explicitly on the compile line it still looks for the static version.

Since Solaris is going away from static linking anyway I am going to
give up on this problem. Thank you for all of your help.

Tim

Can you try
ldd "your program"
to see what libraries are linked. I wondered why it wasn't link
statically if you have -static option. I guess the static link would
require *.a library. This might not be a gcc issue.

try:
setenv LD_OPTIONS      -Bstatic

Good luck
