Im working on a program that I want to run on multiple paltforms but I want to release it as a binary. I build statically but when I do a 'ldd' on the binary afterwards I notice that some of the libs I use like libssl is still a shared object. Does this mean I have to rebuild any included libs statically as well
Anyone know of a good site that talks about building *nix binaries?
well building nix binary's is a hell..
the options as far as I know are
1. You could opt on building a vast array of different bins (redhat suse mandrake debian slackware etc)
2. You could try to make a static binary
3. You could provide the libs (possible copyright problems (gpl))
I have no experience with either (just inventarised the options a while back)
A link that may help you (your question is answered almost verbatim here):
