Hello everyone, recently I am trying to compile postfix in static linking so I can move around the server without any dependency.
I tried to pass the -static to the gcc compiler with make makefiles CC='gcc -Wmissing-prototypes' OPT='-static -O' DEBUG='-g' when I do make command, it always jump out the process and give me this error gcc -Wmissing-prototypes -DHAS_PCRE -g -static -O -I. -I../../include -DLINUX2 -o master master.o master_conf.o master_ent.o master_sig.o master_avail.o master_spawn.o master_service.o master_status.o master_listen.o master_vars.o master_wakeup.o master_watch.o master_flow.o ../../lib/libglobal.a ../../lib/libutil.a -lpcre -ldb -lnsl -lresolv /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [master] Error 1 make: *** [update] Error 1 but if I compile it without changes of the Makefile it's all okay. I am not an programmer and hardly understand the compiling process. so can anyone tell me what I have done wrong? I am new to the list and wasn't sure if it's suitable to post questions here. so please advice if I should try another. Thanks Damian J. L. Lee
