I need a version of glimpse that is statically linked. I set USE="... static" and emerge glimpse. But the result is not statically linked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit make.conf: USE="... static" 2. emerge glimpse 3. ldd /usr/bin/uncast (or any other binary) Actual Results: ldd /usr/bin/uncast libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40031000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) Expected Results: ldd /usr/bin/uncast not a dynamic executable Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r3, 2.4.20-wolk4.0s-pre9) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-wolk4.0s-pre9 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /var/bind /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs sandbox buildpkg ccache distcc userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.linux.no/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/linux/Gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif gtk2 jpeg gnome libg++ mad mikmod mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib directfb gtkhtml gdbm berkdb slang readline arts tetex aalib nas bonobo svga ggi tcltk java guile ruby mysql postgres X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gtk qt kde motif opengl mozilla gphoto2 ldap snmp cdr scanner acpi apache2 artswrappersuid autofs bluetooth clamav curl debug dga doc dv dvd emacs ethereal evo faad fax fbcon ffmpeg firebird flac flash gb gcl gd gnutls imap innodb ipalias ipv6 irda irmc javascript junit kerberos lcms libgda maildir mbox mcal mmx mozcalendar mozsvg mozxmlterm mule oav oci8 odbc parse-clocks passfile pcap pcmcia pda plotutils pnp pwdb radeon samba sasl skey slp socks5 sox speedo speex sse static tiff transcode trusted type1 usagi wmf xml -alsa"
you can now build glimpse-4.17.4 with USE=static
But it still does not work: In make.conf: USE="X acpi apm arts avi berkdb bonobo cdr crypt cups curl debug dga directfb doc dvb dvd emacs encode esd ethereal evo flash foomaticdb gb gd gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imap imlib innodb java jpeg kde lcms ldap libg++ libgda libwww lids lirc mad mbox mikmod motif mozilla mozsvg mpeg mysql nas ncurses nls oav oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl png postgres python qt quicktime readline samba sasl scanner sdl slang snmp spell sse ssl static svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype wmf x86 xinerama xml2 xmms xv zlib" emerge -C glimpse emerge glimpse # ldd /usr/bin/uncast libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4002c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
please use the ~x86 version
