Bug 485194 – dev-util/ltrace - add USE=static

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description zlice 2013-09-17 14:02:13 UTC]

got it to make with no problem - just expected to have a STATIC use flag for ease

[Comment 1 zlice 2013-09-17 14:50:16 UTC]

example - strace has "-static" use flag, makes binary without needing libraries

Could you provide a patch? I can't make it pass the configure phase if I pass the static option

[Comment 3 zlice 2013-09-22 18:03:56 UTC]

used 0.7.2 and git latest (0.7.3 i think)
to make ltrace static


./configure --enable-static=yes --enable-shared=no LDFLAGS="--static"
make -j#

not familiar with the gentoo ebuild/portage system. not sure if you mean a patch for that or if ltrace is giving you issues on your system.

Well it does not work for me. How is your glibc compiled?

Could you give me the output of emerge -pv glibc ?

i don't have 'libelf' installed either. i do have elfutils installed

emerge -pv glibc
[ebuild   R    ] sys-libs/glibc-2.15-r3:2.2  USE="(multilib) -debug -gd (-hardened) -profile (-selinux) -vanilla" 0 kB


just emerge synced and ACCEPT_KEYWORDS ~amd64 and successfully installed 0.7.3

elfutils = 0.149
automake = 1.13.4
autoconf = 2.69
libtool = 2.4-r1

ltrace-0.7.3.ebuild with LDFLAGS static in conf

not sure how to add an 'if' condition for the static use flag - but the end LDFLAGS="--static" seems to work and compile static on my system.

[Comment 8 zlice 2013-09-22 20:05:00 UTC]

oh also - --enabled-shared/static may want to be in that 'if' with USE=static

[Comment 9 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) 2013-09-22 20:10:51 UTC]

Your ebuild does not work for me either so it must be something else

emerge --info

here's my emerge --info...if that helps any

It can be made to work but why do you need a static version of ltrace?
