Hi,
After some struggling I managed to get it to work so here I go
to share the information in case it is of use for somebody.
Platform:
In my case, Sun Solaris 2.5 with gcc 2.7.2.2
Problem:
To make a pseudo-static version of an application using XForms.
The resulting application will still use the shared libraries
of X11, Xm, socket, nsl but use a static version of XForms
(libforms.a), useful when the target machine doesn't have the
necessary libs or when wanting to link with an old (or beta)
library.
I noticed that when doing a (pseudo) static I also had to
specify the Xpm library (-lXpm).
Command used: (depends on system installation)
CFLAGS = -O2
LDFLAGS = -L/lcl/lib
INC = -I/lcl/include
STAT_ON = -Xlinker -B -Xlinker static
STAT_OFF= -Xlinker -B -Xlinker dynamic
LIBS = -lforms -lm -lsocket -lnsl -lX11
SLIBS = $(STAT_ON) -lforms -lXpm $(STAT_OFF) -lm -lsocket \
-lnsl -lX11
gcc $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(INC) -o myprog $(SRC) $(SLIBS)
When building the executable with only shared libs I use
the LIBS version instead of SLIBS.
Well, that worked for me :-) I noticed that on other systems I
don't need to specify -lsocket -lnsl but...
Cheers,
Emilio
PS. Thanks Steve Lamont for the tip regarding the -Xlinker thing.
