How i can static build GDB from source?

I've download gdb-6.5.bz2.tar. Untar this file. I write: LDFLAGS=-static ./configure

but as a result i get a gdb, which require a so files, for instance: ncurses.so.5 libc.so.0 etc

How i can build statically ?

Solution

  • This message seems to imply that the correct usage is

    $ make LDFLAGS=-static

    Which seems surprising. Unfortunately, it also says it fails to build, and there are no follow-ups. Still the message is from 1999 so everything might have changed, perhaps the proper way today is to do it your way.
