#8 Compiling with "-static" fails trying to link RPC functions

[Anonymous]

On some current Linux (Ubuntu and Gentoo) based systems I've tried making the binaries with LDFLAGS=-static and I get errors about missing pmap_* functions (set, unset, etc). So far the only solution I've had is to remove those from the Makefile as I don't really care about RPC related test results. Initially I thought adding "-lrpc" might fix it, but apparently that isn't valid or required. I do see two identical sections in bench.h that are both including rpc/pmap_clnt.h for some reason. Below is the command and error I see. Doesn't matter if 32 bit (i686), 64 bit (x64), or arm (armv7l) based system. Using gcc 4.5.x and 4.7.x on different systems.

I solved with: LDFLAGS=-ltirpc
