Description (last modified by slyfox) (diff)
Static builds seems to be broken:
$ _mc-bin/bin/mc --version GNU Midnight Commander 4.7.1-118-g9b41d62
$ LDFLAGS=-all-static ./configure --prefix=$(pwd)/_mc-bin \ --with-samba \ --with-mcfs \ --enable-charset \ --enable-extcharset \ --enable-maintainer-mode \ --with-glib-static \ --enable-mcserver

LDFLAGS=-static does not have any effect, Libtool seems to skip it on executable binaries.
It can easily be my misunderstanding on how to use it.

Hi slyfox,
with --enable-static you build a static mc library (lib/.libs/libmc.a).
That is not what you want. You want a static binary.
please try:
# make clean && make LDFLAGS=-all-static
compile result should be:
# ldd src/mc not a dynamic executable

I tried this one, but I (quite narurally) use ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode, which is smart enough to rerun configure when I pass LDFLAGS to make. It results in reconfigure breakage.
AFAIU LDFLAGS=-all-static ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode ${other_opts} should work, I'll change bug description.
