There should have been an option to build alsa utilities statically. To check the speaker of a platform, I don't have to port the whole of alsa-lib + alsa-utilities on my small busybox file-system, do i ? So an aplay or speaker-test would be really helpful in those situations. I tried too, to build it statically, but yes, dl_* calls doesn't allow it to be built statically. regards, Pavan ----- Original Message ----- From: John Haxby <jch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: MrUmunhum@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:57:44 +0530 (IST) Subject: Re: ALSA, link static, cannot find -lasound William Estrada wrote: > hi group, > > Trying to rebuild my ALSA programs with static libs. > > [snip] > but when I try with -static, I get this: > Code: > > gcc -g -O2 -static -lasound -o volume volume.o > /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lasound > There isn't a libasound.a so far as I'm aware. I would say that it's unlikely that any distro would provide one since the alsa library dynamically loads its various modules which rather defeats the object of it being static. To be honest, unless you have a really, really good case for a static executable you should avoid them anyway. At the moment, I can't think of a sensible use-case for static ALSA programs, although I'm sure someone could! jch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
