[SoX-users] staticly compile sox-14.0.0 / sox-12.18.1

[Siet <si...@ho...>]

Hi there,

I am trying to staticly compile Sox so that all libraries are contained in the
binary. This allows for easy distribution to our servers. If it works that is,
because I cant seem to get it to compile right.

Sox 14 seems to have support for compiling this way. I tried compiling like this
on a Suse 10.2 machine:

./configure --disable-shared --enable-static

However it does not seem to compile staticly: 

$ ldd sox
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libmad.so.0 => /usr/lib/libmad.so.0 (0xb7ef6000)
libmp3lame.so.0 => /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 (0xb7e65000)
libogg.so.0 => /usr/lib/libogg.so.0 (0xb7e5f000)
[..]

I have tried a few different flags like --enable-shared=no as well which did not
help unfortunately. Does anybody have a tip on how to achieve this?

At first I tried to staticly compile version 12.18.1 since we had a special
patch made for this version. Unfortunately this version does not support the
static/shared compile flags. It should however be possible to still compile
staticly using  'ar'. I havent been able to do so unfortunately. Any tips?

All help is much appriciated!

Thanks,
Siet
