hello ! i try to compile rsync statically, so i added -static to the Makefile/CFLAGS it get: uidlist.o(.text+0x705): In function `add_gid': /tmp/rsync-2.6.8/uidlist.c:75: warning: Using 'getgrgid' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking util.o(.text+0x16ba): In function `name_to_gid': /tmp/rsync-2.6.8/util.c:486: warning: Using 'getgrnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking util.o(.text+0x16fa): In function `name_to_uid': /tmp/rsync-2.6.8/util.c:472: warning: Using 'getpwnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking uidlist.o(.text+0x775): In function `add_uid': /tmp/rsync-2.6.8/uidlist.c:66: warning: Using 'getpwuid' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking socket.o(.text+0x4ba): In function `try_bind_local': /tmp/rsync-2.6.8/socket.c:145: warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking ldd tells "not a dynamic executable" i`m puzzled - how can rsync need shared library on the "runtime system", if it is static - i mean: is this static now or is it not ? does somebody know what problems may occur with this ? there is some statically linked rsync available at http://www.stearns.org/rsync-static/ - so i`m unsure how to get a REAL statically compiled rsync can anybody help me out ?
