Subject: Re: Trying to Link Statically to Libcrypto
Some incredibly helpful advice, which I appreciate very much. I'll apply it
all tomorrow morning. It makes a lot of
sense to find out that I've been putting the -static flag in the wrong place,
because I had to develop scripts to temporarily
hide shared libraries from the linker, whenever I made a version of my
executable to be used or tested elsewhere, to force
the linker to chose the static versions. I wondered why the -static flag
wasn't working. In my present job, I only have time
to research new things briefly, and not at length as I would prefer.

What I am trying to do is remove all dependencies on libraries on the diverse
arget machines, so that it works right out of the box without the necessity of
he user installing libraries. On several machines where people have installed
y program, it complained that it couldn't find libcrypto.so.8. I fixed that on
hose occasions by creating a symbolic link to their actual version of
ibcrypto, but I just want it to stop looking for any library at all on the box
here I'm putting it, and this is one step towards that. I had hoped that by
orcing it to take libcrypto.a, rather than libcrypto.so, it would stop looking
or libcrypto.so.8.
When you pass -static to the linker as part of the link command,
t will search for libcrypto.a rather than the default (dynamic)
ibcrypto.so (which should be a sym-link to the current version
amed libcrypto.so.VERSION-NUMBER).
Also remember that the application: /usr/bin/g++ which you are
alling is just the "front end" of that toolchain.
t calls the sub-components (pre-processor, compiler, assembler,
inker, etc) as required based on the options and files it is passed.
Note also when you did:
++ --help
n a terminal window that the order is:
++ <options> files
ot:
++ files <options>
Also try:
nfo g++
n a terminal window.

e certainly meant -lldap (the library is called libldap.so, so
he linker flag is called -lldap). If your library really is
alled openldap.so (which I very much doubt), then you can not
ink it with the -l option, you have to add the fully qualified
ath name of that library to the linker command line.

Link to OpenSSL first, and then OpenLdap (order matters):
gcc ... -lcrypto -lopenldap
hat was meant is "-lldap -lcrypto". Libraries later in later
lags have to satisfy references left open by earlier libraries.

ou are linking statically to a library that some other library,
amely libldap, want's to link dynamically. How's that supposed
o work? Static linking means you have a copy of libcrypto in
our binary, with the symbols of that library removed, because
hey have already been resolved. Then libldap gets linked, and
ants to know about the same symbols once again, so a shared copy
f the library libcrypto has to be added to the address space.
hat a mess. So the real question is: WTH are you trying to link
tatically!
