Sure, and ldd will say it's not a dynamic-linked executable. It won't warn you that it still needs the correct-version runtime libs available. > It is possible to build a static version of Bacula with openssl using Ermine, > which is what we use for building the Bacula Systems USB rescue key.

But there's definitely something going on here that we need to be aware of, that there are cases in which you can build what appears to be a fully static Bacula client, which all checks (file, ldd) say is statically linked, and that will actually start up on its own, but that actually still requires some system runtime libs to be able to actually execute a restore. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
