Hi Alan,<br><br><br>I don't know why, but if I take the build command from cmake, and I insert the static libraries in there, it works all right. So somehow it's reverting itself to some other version of the static and/or dynamic libraries.<br>
<br>The entire point of me reporting this in fact is that in cmake cvs this should have been resolved... Meaning that if I say in my CMakeLists file to link against the static library, it should just keep that link... Not try to be smart and change it ;-).<br>

A small example (and verified on a clean SUSE installation):<br>
<br>
====================<br>
PROJECT(test)<br>
<br>
cmake_policy(SET CMP0003 NEW)<br>
<br>
ADD_EXECUTABLE(<br>
test<br>
main.cpp<br>
)<br>
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(<br>
test<br>
/usr/lib/libpthread.a<br>
/usr/lib/librt.a<br>
/usr/lib/libc.a<br>
)<br>
====================<br>
<br>
==> this won't set the .a's in the commandline as it should do, but rather<br>
link it via -Wl,-Bstatic...<br>
<br>
<br>
And I really need those static links, because no single other library on the<br>
system exports the required symbols, not even the shared ones.<br>

<br></div>
Out of curiosity, why doesn't -Wl,-Bstatic -lpthread do exactly what you<br>
want? According to the Linux ld man page, -Bstatic means "do not link<br>
against shared libraries" so shouldn't that have the identical result as<br>
specifying /usr/lib/libpthread.a?<br>
<br>
To double-check what is happening with the linking, use "ldd -r" to list<br>
all the shared (but not static) libraries being linked to by test and to<br>
show any symbols which are not resolved by the link. You can also use<br>
nm to look for unresolved symbols.<br>
