Static build of kmod

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings,

since commit b7016153ec87dba2b0f0d182cc8f1e3b12f4dfaf building static kmod is 
disabled. I would like to question that decision.

My use case is as follows: I build a custom BSP and would like to provide 
statically linked host tools. That makes it easy to deploy them at any 
location, and that these tools do not pick up random shared libraries of the 
underlying Linux system when executed. Currently kmod is one of the few 
packages that are not able to build in that way.

I understand that you may want to prevent other tools (e.g. sytemd was 
mentioned in that commit) to link against a static libkmod, and that is fine 
with me. What I would like to get is static kmod tools. For the BSP host tools 
case I don't mind if a libkmod does not exist at all, only the tools are of 
interest.

What do you think?

Regards,

Eike
