Building Ceph statically linked

Building Ceph statically linked

[Wido den Hollander]

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.

I suspect it's because you did not --with-radosgw and it was not recompiled.

Nope, I did a 'make clean' first.

Tried it just for the sake of it:
$ CXXFLAGS="-static" ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared 
--with-radosgw
$ make
$ file src/radosgw

"src/radosgw: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), 
dynamically linked (uses shared libs),"
