Hi, just to elaborate on the reply of Srini..
There is more than 1 way.. First way is to compile everything in your application, this is as per the reply of Srini. I take X11 as an example. If you look in x11.c you will find: DFB_CORE_SYSTEM( x11 ) Which will expand a function with __attribute__((constructor)). This function will be called automatically: - when you link in libdirectfb_x11.so - OR at startup, if have linked this library in. In other words: if you simply add the x11.o file to your linking stage, it will register your x11 system module. To find out what you exactly need to add to your Makefile, you need to use directfb-config. Or you can edit your own Makefile, of course. Second way is to compile everything in DirectFB, and then link your app statically. simply use ./configure --enable-static. Select your options carefully as this will bloat your system easily... :) Greets Niels Vijay wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to do a static build of the library for arm-linux.
