Static libcurl binding using c

I use Libcurl in my application with the C and GNU compiler on a Linux machine. The application also uses OpenSSL libraries and some other libraries. I am trying to statically link libraries, with the exception of lcurl links to other libraries work just fine.

I am trying to compile as below.

 gcc -static -I. -o test test.c -lz -lssl -lcrypto -lcurl

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to force static links of some librairies (libc for example)?

Libcurl itself is linked to tons of other libraries, most of which are not included in your compilation command line. For example, my (on Debian Squeeze) links to:

  • Libc
  • libcom_err
  • libcrypto
  • libdl
  • libgcrypt
  • libgnutls
  • libgpg error
  • libgssapi_krb5
  • libidn
  • libk5crypto
  • libkeyutils
  • libkrb5
  • libkrb5support
  • liblber-2,4
  • libldap_r-2,4
  • libpthread
  • libresolv
  • librt
  • libsasl2
  • libssh2
  • libssl
  • libtasn1
  • libz

(You can get a similar list for yourself by running ldd in the Linux library or otool -L in Darwin.)
