I'm having trouble building git statically. I have an entire toolchain that
is built statically, there are no shared libraries. I'm trying to build
git as a part of this toolchain and it has all kinds of link errors that I
think have to do with the configure.
I'm running the following configure command...
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -static"
If I build I add NO_OPENSSL and NO_CURL things will compile fine. I would
like to have at the least https functionality so I'm trying to get curl to
link which seems to get me hung up on the library dependencies when
linking. I have to add things like LIBS="-lcrypto -lssl" to the configure
to get remotely close to linking properly.
Can better support for static linking get added to the configure/Makefile
scripts?
On thing I've noticed with configure scripts is that they always expect
dynamic libraries to be present. This is not always the case. If the static
option is specified during configure, the configuration tests should do
static linking as well to verify the library is present.
One thing that I've found that normally always works is when the configure
scripts make use of pkg-config. If pkg-config is given the --static
argument all of the linking dependencies are returned and compilation works
perfectly.
I'd love to see some improvements to the compilation process for static
builds, but at the very least I'd appreciate some help getting this built.
Thanks,
Jared
