Static GLIBC compiling

[martinrame]

Hi, I have a couple of dcmtk based programs installed in different versions of Ubuntu Linux. When I update and deploy those I get errors similar to this:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21'

When the version of GLIBC from compiled differs from the deployment machine.

Is there a way to statically link GLIBC to avoid this issue?.

You can try adding "-static -static-libgcc" to CXXFLAGS after running configure or CMake. This should normally generate a static binary that does not require any shared library, however this very much depends on how gcc and the C libraries (glibc, libstdc++) are installed in your system.
