static compilation

[sandro dentella]

Hi,

I'd need to make it possible to use VisualNetkit to people that do
not yet have libqt4.4 (namely ubuntu 8.04 or possibly 7.10). Would it
be possible to compile VisualNetkit statically? how big would it be?

I know nothing of c++ and compilation in general, I'd appreciate if
some could tell me how to modify the Makefile to get static binaries.


thanks

Hi sandro,

make VisualNetkit statically compiled is possible. You have to compile
Qt4.4 with the static support (see configure --help) and then you can
compile statically the VisualNetkit and all its plugins..

To compile a program statically, just need the "- static" clausole
inside the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS.
I think that the final size (without debug symbols) will be about 10
Mbyte or less.

If you have troubles, at the start of the next week you'll find the
compiled stuff (statically) on the google code page ;)

Bye Bye!

I don't want to seem too lazy, but I think I'll wait some more days...
one day or another I'll decide to learn enought C/c++ not to feel always a
stranger...

here http://code.google.com/p/visual-netkit/downloads/list you can
find the binary stuffs compiled statically!
I think this is very experimental... take it as a test, nothing else

Bye

Thanks a lot! I tested it on an ubuntu 8.04 (where only qt 4.3 was
available) and it just worked.

You're welcome! But remeber to start visualnetkit.sh script to set
correctly the environment variable of plugins directory!
