1. EC Static Compiles...
EU Community,
Is there any way to make static builds using ECU? Currently, I have yet =
to=20
come up with a solution. I'm writing a utility which I will most likely =
use=20
as a personal backup tool. However, this will be ran when /usr is not=20
mounted and thus the GPM and NCurses libs are not available. I *could*=20
surpass this using a staticly linked program using ECU. However, everyth=
ing=20
I've tried so far has failed. Any suggestions, or should I look for anot=
her=20
language. :(

What have you tried so far? In theory, adding the "-static" flag to gcc
in the emake script SHOULD do the trick, however under Linux a
staticly-linked
program can not dlopen() itself. Maybe Rob links to the libraries via
dlopen()?
If that were the case then you won't be able to staticly link it.

So far I have tried using the -static flag. However, it seems that becau=
se of=20
the lib that EC compiles use, it will not compile statically. I have als=
o=20
tried to compile a static version of euphoria off the source code. This =
has=20
by far gotten me the best results so far. I am currently trying to get=20
ncurses set up in a chroot in order to test this out. I have a feeling t=
hat=20
this approach will work. I'll let you know any further findings.
