[Bug driver/27419] New: '-static' for 'gcc libraries' only?

[P dot Schaffnit at access dot rwth-aachen dot de]

Hi!

I would be interested in having the "gcc libraries" statically linked to my
binary, but still use one shared-object (a commercial library for which no
static version is available), so '-static' is not really an option, as far as I
can tell...

I haven't been able to pull this off, and got an answer from
gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org that it's actually impossible...

Nevertheless, as far as I can tell most commercial compiler allow this, so it's
probably technically possible, if it's not too much trouble, I think it would
be nice to have...

Thanks!

Philippe

e.g. libfoo.so is a commercial shared library.

$ ldd libfoo.so
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002b388050d000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555554000)

$ cat exec.c
extern void foo();
int main()
{
    foo();
    return 0;
}

$ gcc exec.c -o exec -static-libgcc -Wl,-rpath,. -L. -lfoo

$ ldd exec
        libfoo.so => ./libfoo.so (0x00002b795f7fc000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002b795f917000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b795f6e1000)

Hi!

Thanks a lot!

That's exactly what I was looking for: I don't seem to be able to do the same
with libgfortran, though... have I missed something, or should request that?

Thanks!

Philippe

PS: I don't seem to find any reference to that in the documentation: it would
probably be worth adding...

Configure GCC with --disable-shared instead.

I hadn't thought about that...

Thanks a lot for your help!
