Building Ceph statically linked

[Wido den Hollander <wido@42on.com>]

Hi,

While doing some tests I'm trying to build Ceph statically. I have a 
bunch of machines where I run Ceph on for these test (mostly RGW now) 
and I'm running into some library issues when switching from branches.

To make my life a bit easier I tried compiling Ceph (especially RGW) 
statically linked, but somehow I keep ending up with a dynamically 
linked binary.

What I tried:

$ env CXXFLAGS="-static" ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
$ make

Usually that should spit out a static binary, but 'radosgw' is still 
dynamic.

I'm not such a autoconf nor automake guru, so does anybody ever build 
static binaries with Ceph?

Yes, I'm aware they can become very large, but that's not my concern 
right now. I just want to upload a binary to a machine, run it and see 
if it does what I'm hoping it does and not having to worry about all the 
dependencies being there and being the right version.
