ldd is your friend for seeing the dependencies. I see what you mean, though. I'm no autoconf expert, but AFAICT this was not an intended feature. My attempted grok of the Makefile also supports this theory. And I don't see any of the options you specified as being valid. Using "--disable-shared" also doesn't affect "python", but does appear to make libpython static, but I think it is regardless. You can force the issue with: $ ../configure ... $ make LDFLAGS=-static $ ls -l ./python -rwxr-xr-x 1 mdelliot support 2888818 Oct 6 08:06 ./python $ ldd ./python not a dynamic executable But this gives some import warnings, and running has some problems... Then I found these, indicating that it is easy ;-) http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/9407982ad24b62ec/5018f9abebaa285a?lnk=st&q=build+python+static&rnum=3&hl=en#5018f9abebaa285a http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/1ac371489ed4040b/076580464204cd79?lnk=st&q=build+python+static&rnum=5&hl=en#076580464204cd79 http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/c532cc6469e29488/c6fcc1afbd7c41b0?lnk=st&q=build+python+static&rnum=17&hl=en#c6fcc1afbd7c41b0 It might be nice to have an autoconf option to make this more obvious for guys like us. Maybe this is just a rare need. -- Micah Elliott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
