Statically linked version

Hi,

With great pleasure, I have been using Workrave on my Windows machine for some months now. However, we are now moving to a secure environment (for Unix)
where all of us get a thin-client to connect to a secure Linux (Redhat/KDE) environment. However, system management is not willing to installing Workrave in the secure environment
(it is non-standard :-() and we as users don't have root permission... As a result, I am now forced to switch back to Workpace and pay for an expensive Linux licence since their Linux distribution
runs out of the box  (one executable without any dependancies on libraries) which I can simply install in my local directory.

Of course, I would like to spend my money on other things... So, is it possible to provide a statically linked version of Workrave?

Kind regards,

-Paul Hoogendijk.

You are not the first one to ask for statically linked Workrave... I'll
give it another try.

Unfortunately, Debian doesn't have static versions of some of the
libraries Workrave depends on, so I will have to recompile these Debian
packages first....  I expect to have an statically linked version early
next week.

Groetjes,

Is there an established way of getting a statically linked Workrave?
Some option I can set when building it?

This might solve my problem where I haven't been able to build
Workrave 1.9.0 for my main computer.  I could build it statically on
another computer with more recent libraries, and then copy the binary.

Any suggestions?

I tried this a couple of years ago. I eventually gave up...

You may have some more luck :-) You can try something like this:

CFLAGS=-static CXXFLAGS=-static ./configure

make

Has anyone ever succeeded with any version?  If so, can they please
report what they did?  This seems to be a common request on the
mailing list.

Okay, at least I have a starting point.  Thanks!
