Re: [gedit-list] Compile gedit with static libraries

[Jesse van den Kieboom <jesse icecrew nl>]

I think I got it to at least try to link all libraries static, by
manually invoking libtool with -all-static in the link command:

/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -g -all-static -O2
-export-dynamic -no-undefined -export-symbols-regex "^[[^_]].*"  -o
gedit gedit.o libgedit.la -pthread -L/home/jesse/install/lib
-lgtksourceview-2.0 -lgnomeui-2 -lSM -lICE -lbonoboui-2 -lgnomecanvas-2
-lgnome-2 -lpopt -lbonobo-2 -lbonobo-activation -lORBit-2 -lart_lgpl_2
-lglade-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lxml2 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0
-lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgnomevfs-2
-lgconf-2 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0
-lattr -lattr

Which resulted in:

gcc -g -static -O2 -o gedit gedit.o -pthread
-Wl,--export-dynamic  ./.libs/libgedit.a
-L/home/jesse/install/lib /home/jesse/install/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgnomeui-2.a -lSM -lICE /usr/lib/libbonoboui-2.a /usr/lib/libgnomecanvas-2.a /usr/lib/libgnome-2.a /usr/lib/libpopt.a /usr/lib/libbonobo-2.a /usr/lib/libbonobo-activation.a /usr/lib/libORBit-2.a /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.a /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.a /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so /usr/lib/libxml2.a /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.a /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so -lm /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so /usr/lib/libcairo.a /usr/lib/libfreetype.a -lz -lfontconfig -lpng12 -lXrender -lX11 -lpixman-1 /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.a /usr/lib/libgconf-2.a /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.a -lrt /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.a -ldl /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.a /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.a /lib/libattr.a   -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/jesse/install/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/jesse/install/lib
/usr/bin/ld: attempted static link of dynamic object
`/home/jesse/install/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'll try to get it working :)
