Re: static vs. dynamic libraries

[Eljay Love-Jensen <eljay@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Larry,

This is a VERY platform (OS + GCC version) sensitive way to solve the 
problem, as a target using GNU Make (I presume you know where the tabs go):

myfoo : foo.cpp
$(CXX) -o $@ $^ \
-nodefaultlibs \
-Wl,-Bstatic \
$(shell $(CXX) -print-file-name=libstdc++.a) \
$(shell $(CXX) -print-file-name=libgcc.a) \
$(shell $(CXX) -print-file-name=libgcc_eh.a) \
-Wl,-Bdynamic \
-lpthread -lc -lm -ldl

CAVEAT:  Use with caution!  This may work on, say, Solaris, and be 
completely wrong for, say, AIX or Linux.  And the libraries may be correct 
for GCC 3.2, and wrong for GCC 3.3.  Your mileage may vary.

HTH,
