This is not an Xcode specific question. I apologize if this is the wrong list. I get an error when trying to compile a simple program (below) with the -static flag.
Mumukshu:~/tmp hrishi$ cat test.cpp
#include<iostream>
int main() {
std::cout<<"Hello world\n";
return 0;
}
Mumukshu:~/tmp hrishi$
Mumukshu:~/tmp hrishi$ g++ -static test.cpp
/var/tmp//cctnBafc.s:201:FATAL:incompatible feature used: section type non_lazy_symbol_pointers (must specify "-dynamic" to be used)
man g++ says the following for the -static flag:
"...This option will not work on Mac OS X unless all libraries (including libgcc.a) have also been compiled with -static. Since neither a static version of libSystem.dylib nor crt0.o are provided, this option is not useful to most people."
Is it possible to compile static binaries on Mac OS X?
