I edited my configure.in file again and added the two macros. Then ran aclocal. that increased the size of my aclocal.m4 file by about double. ran autoconf without errors. did: ./configure --enable-static --disable-dynamic without errors, but it did spit out the usual: checking PACKAGE_CFLAGS... -DXTHREADS -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include checking PACKAGE_LIBS... -Wl,--export-dynamic -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 then ran 'make' and it linked dynamically again. gcc -g -O2 -o hpntpos main.o support.o interface.o callbacks.o page_lockedscreen.o page_shiftstart.o page_shiftend.o page_switchboard.o page_cashdrawermngmnt.o page_transactions.o hpnt_log.o access_checking.o signals.o state.o hpnt_db.o hpnt_options.o timer_queue.o window_enter_number_dlg.o window_keyboard_dlg.o hpntgroupedtoggle.o -Wl,--export-dynamic -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -lmysqlclient -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lz -lglib-2.0 I don't know what's up, and to tell you the truth, I don't really care a whole lot. I'm not going to any static linking anyway. It's this other guy who wants it, and he's not talking. I'll let him take over this thread if he wants. But... if you want me to try something to see if you can get static linking working on my system, let me know. I'm willing to give anything a shot. I am curious about it. - Ben _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
