g++ -static-libgcc not working (g++ 3.0.4).

g++ -static-libgcc not working (g++ 3.0.4).

[jean-frederic clere]

Hi,

I am on a Solaris machine (5.8) and I am not using the gnu ld.
I am trying to have a program linked staticly with libstdc++.a and libgcc.a.

I have tried g++ -o program -static-libgcc ...
But program still requires libstdc++.so.3 and libgcc_s.so.1

I have tried to -static but it failed because g++ does find  dlopen and relatives.

Any ideas about what could be wrong?

Cheers

Jean-frederic

Specify static linking for just the libraries you want statically linked,
and then revert to dynamic libraries for the rest.  See the ld(1) man page
for -Bstatic and -Bdynamic.

I would therefore like to posit that computing's central challenge, viz. "How
not to make a mess of it," has /not/ been met.

Calling ld directly with -Bstatic -lgcc -lstdc++ -Bdynamic -lc works but there 
seems to be noway to do it directly from g++.

The g++ -static-libgcc gives something like:

See the GCC manual.  Look for -Wl.

But that did not help because g++ puts -lgcc -lstdc++ after my:
-Wl,"-Bstatic" -lstdc++ -lgcc -Wl,"-Bdynamic"

BTW why "-lgcc -lc -lgcc", something wrong in the configure of gcc?

The libraries are searched in the order that they are listed.

Nope.  That's normal.  (Libraries are searched in the order that they
are listed.  libgcc creates a references to something needed from libc,
and in fulfilling that requirement, libc needs something from libgcc that
wasn't needed previously.)

So I would except that the -static-libgcc do a:
-Bstatic -lstdc++ -Bdynamic -lm -Bstatic -lgcc -Bdynamic -lc -Bstatic
-lgcc
instead of:
-lstdc++ -lm -lgcc -lc -lgcc

BTW To get the link done I have to give the -lm option twice because the first 
one is ignored (the same for -lc)
