Hi.
Since I need to compile HAVP for old distros (aka Debian Woody), is possible to build a statically linked binary?
Thanks

I've never tried, so I can't tell you. But if I had to answer, yes you can build pretty much anything static if you know the right switches.

Here what I tried to do:

from the root source:
ln -s `g++ -print-file-name=libstdc++.a`

Then tried to compile with:
./configure --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/usr/lib --sysconfdir=/etc/havp --mandir=/usr/share/man CXXFLAGS="-static-libgcc" LDFLAGS="-L."
make CXXFLAGS="-static-libgcc" LDFLAGS="-L."

But I get errors related to clamav...

scanners/scanners.a(clamlibscanner.o): In function `ClamLibScanner::Scan(char const*)':
clamlibscanner.cpp:(.text+0x151): undefined reference to `cl_scanfile'
clamlibscanner.cpp:(.text+0x18e): undefined reference to `cl_strerror

Probably because I need to set LDFLAGS pointing to clamav lib too...Any idea?

Yes you need to first compile ClamAV static library, so you have libclamav.a.

Problem remains, still I tried to disable clamav to see if static link work.

ldd havp

libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40017000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40038000) ???
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40040000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


is this probably pulled in indirectly, from some other system library?
