Hi *.
I already asked this question on the -users mailinglist, but seems
like I was on the wrong list there, that's why I try asking here
again.
I have some trouble compiling 1.0pre3 statically on a Linux-system.
The following line was used to configure the build:
./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/lib \
--datadir=/usr/share --mandir=/usr/man --enable-static --prefix=/usr \
--confdir=/etc/mplayer --enable-menu --enable-linux-devfs \
--with-extraincdir=/usr/include/libpng --enable-fbdev \
--enable-largefiles --enable-shared-pp --with-win32libdir=/usr/lib/win32 \
--enable-runtime-cpudetection --disable-i18n
The resulting binary looks like it was linked statically, but isn't:
root at fuzzy:/usr/src/trunk/build/lvp-2.0.0-rc5-x86-lvp_boot-expert/root/usr/bin# ls -l mplayer
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6007684 Jan 17 14:34 mplayer
root at fuzzy:/usr/src/trunk/build/lvp-2.0.0-rc5-x86-lvp_boot-expert/root/usr/bin# file mplayer
mplayer: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
root at fuzzy:/usr/src/trunk/build/lvp-2.0.0-rc5-x86-lvp_boot-expert/root/usr/bin#
Upon running this binary I get:
root at fuzzy:/usr/src/trunk/build/lvp-2.0.0-rc5-x86-lvp_boot-expert/root# chroot .
bash-2.05b# mplayer
bash: /usr/bin/mplayer: No such file or directory
bash-2.05b#
XFree 4.3.99.902 was built statically and works just fine, as well as other
programs.
Unfortunately, I haven't found hints to compiling statically in the
documentation and both [ :) ] FAQs.
However there seem to be binary packages of mplayer 0.90-something available.
Is statically linking broken at the moment or something?
I'm thankful for every hint!
Thanks in advance
Benjamin
