Static build of alsa-lib

[Ciaccia <ciacciax@yahoo.com>]

Hi there,
I would like to compile an alsa application for an
embedded system with no shared-libraries support. My
application just needs PCM, with no plug-ins, no mixer
and no midi and the application should be a standalone
executable with no external dependencies, otherwise it
will not work.

I tried to compile alsa-lib with static support, but
without luck (-ldl is always needed in the gcc line
and gcc always prints some weird warnings). Since I
don't need external plugins nor ladspa, I think there
should be a way to compile an application in a 100%
static manner, but I still have to figure out how.

I also found this thread with a similar problem with
uClinux
http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18253.html
but at the end I did not understand how/if the problem
was solved.

Do you think it should be possible to compile alsa-lib
with no dependencies on dl? How?

Otherwise, would it be possible to write an alsa
application that does not rely on alsa-lib (i.e.,
by using the alsa kernel APIs directly)? Has someone
already tried it? Some hints?

Every hint is extremely welcome

Thanks a lot
Best regards
Andrea
