[newbie] library dependencies

[newbie] library dependencies

[Zouplaz]

Hi here, just another simple question : with gnat under win32 or linux is 
it possible to compile an application that doesn't rely on any shared 
libraries ? (statically linked I presume) 

What I want is an app that could be copied directly from a system (same 
platform of course) to another..

Thanks

On GNU/Linux, this is definitely possible.  Just pass -static to
gnatbind, e.g.

gnatmake my_app -bargs -static -largs /usr/lib/libmy_library.a

Usually, the static libraries /usr/lib/lib*.a contain debugging
symbols; you may want to strip them off like this:

strip my_app

If you are a newbe you might want to take a look at gps (http:/
libre.act-europe.fr/gps). The option dialog in gps will answer your
question.
