how to staticalll bin libstdc++*

[Billy Patton]

I've got some c++ code that I have written and tested on both a sun solaris8
box and a linux. It works fine. I had a new user try it on thier sun and it
complained about not finding libstdc++??6.so. It has this .so dynamicall
linked to the executable.

How do I tell gcc to statically link ALL libraries?

You would use '-static'. There are, however, a variety of problems you
could run into this way. What makes you think your library will work on his
machine?

Statically linking system libraries (libc.so in particular) is
generally a very bad idea (TM).

This makes your application much larger then it needs to be, and
is quite likely to make your app not work at all on future releases
of the OS.

A much better approach is to link just the libstdc++ statically:

ln -s `g++ --print-file-name=libstdc++.a` .
g++ -o your.exe main.o ... -L. -static-libgcc
rm libstdc++.a
