Thanks, unfortuanetely those options made no difference at all, the same things are still dynamically linked. At the very least I figured I can make due with only have the SSL library statically linked but I have tried -with-ssl=path (as per my other email). -----Original Message----- From: Bjoern Voigt <bjoernv@xxxxxxxx.INVALID> Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2023 6:37 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Apache static compile On 28.03.23 00:14, Chris me wrote: > > Hi, I hope this is an OK question. > > I have a need to build apache with all libraries statically linked and > included in the httpd executable. > > Is this possible? > In https://serverfault.com/a/715193 you will find the answer, to use "configure --disable-shared", but this option is not available in newer Apache servers. Now you have multiple "static link" options. See # httpd-2.4.56/configure --help [...] --enable-mods-static=MODULE-LIST Space-separated list of static modules to enable | "all" | "most" | "few" | "reallyall" [...] --enable-so DSO capability. This module will be automatically enabled unless you build all modules statically. [...] --enable-ssl-staticlib-deps link mod_ssl with dependencies of OpenSSL's static libraries (as indicated by "pkg-config --static"). Must be specified in addition to --enable-ssl. [...] --enable-static-support Build a statically linked version of the support binaries [...] --enable-jansson-staticlib-deps link mod_md with dependencies of libjansson's static libraries (as indicated by "pkg-config --static"). Must be specified in addition to --enable-md. [...] I tried this on openSUSE Tumbleweed, but for the most libraries the configure scripts does not find static libraries. So the resulting "httpd" has a lot of dynamic dependent libraries. ./configure --enable-mods-static=all --disable-so --enable-ssl-staticlib-deps ldd targetdir/bin/httpd linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd6d7c9000) libssl.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.3 (0x00007fc06e81c000) libcrypto.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.3 (0x00007fc06e200000) libjansson.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libjansson.so.4 (0x00007fc06e80b000) libcurl.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4 (0x00007fc06e75e000) [...] Björn --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
