Hi, I have a problem. I can dynamic linking a project, but when I try to static linking the same, there are an error. The problem is with a library named ode. This library is installed in /usr/local/lib/ and there are the static and dynamic version, libode.a and libode.so. The dynamic link command is this: [...] /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -DOGRE_GUI_GLX -DOGRE_CONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/OGRE -g -O2 -o ogrebots -lOgreOde_Core -lOgreOde_Prefab -lOgreOde_Loader -lOIS -L/usr/lib -laudiere ogrebots.o Combat.o Mission.o verilogNetlistLexer.o verilogNetlistParser.o verilogModel.o circuitSimulator.o textRenderer.o robot.o sensor.o actuator.o vehicle.o engine.o wheel.o prefabObject.o basicGates.o -L/usr/local/lib -lOgreMain g++ -DOGRE_GUI_GLX -DOGRE_CONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/OGRE -g -O2 -o ogrebots ogrebots.o Combat.o Mission.o verilogNetlistLexer.o verilogNetlistParser.o verilogModel.o circuitSimulator.o textRenderer.o robot.o sensor.o actuator.o vehicle.o engine.o wheel.o prefabObject.o basicGates.o /usr/local/lib/libOgreOde_Core.so /usr/local/lib/libOgreOde_Prefab.so /usr/local/lib/libOgreOde_Loader.so /usr/local/lib/libOIS.so -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libaudiere.so -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libOgreMain.so -L/home/DescIns/ogreode_v2/src -lode -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lrt -ldumb -lX11 -lXaw -lXt -lSM -lICE -lCg -lfreeimage -lpthread -lz -ldl -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib Then I can execute correctly the executable, and I can watch that all the dependencies are OK with the "ldd" command.
