Perhaps you lack a static version of the library.
What do you mean by that? The *.la files? I wasn't aware that there are
any...
I mean lib*.a files. They are needed if you specify static, by
definition.
Hmm, this opens a huge Pandora's box for me - in my own distribution
(Fedora) the "nss" package (which I have installed) provides
/usr/lib64/libssl3.so, but not libssl3.a. "nss-devel" (which I also have
installed) provides all the relevant /include files (headers and the
like), but there is no libssl3.a there either! There is no package
called "nss-devel-static" distributed by Fedora and the only ".a" files
produced by compiling the nss source are libcrmf.a libnssb.a and
libnssckfw.a - no libssl3.a at all. So, where do I get this?
Also, assuming libssl3 is not the only one, ld will probably complain
that there are other ".a" files missing from various other packages
which are probably not present in my host machine. If that is the case,
this is an absolute nightmare to have to deal with! Where do I get these
files? Thanks for your input Paolo.
