[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35408] Static build of octave fails on 3.4.3 OpenSUSE 11.4

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #35408 (project octave):

With a few simple changes, I can do a "static" build of Octave using the
current development sources.  I'll try to incorporate these changes into the
build system soon.
                                                                 All the .oct
files, all of liboctinterp, liboctave, and libcruft are linked together in one
big happy executable file.  However, it the Octave executable still depends on
shared system libraries.

Trying to pass "-static" to gcc for the final link results in the error


/usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: attempted static link of dynamic object
`/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl-gnutls.so'


on my system.  But I think that is a system problem, not a bug in Octave.  A
fully static build should be possible if your system has the proper static
system libraries available.
