Unable to build static binary of tacc

[anup19]

I'd like to create a static binary of tacc that would have all the shared libraries built into the binary. However, when I try to supply such arguments to ./configure, its not generating a static binary for tacc.

./configure --enable-static  && make && sudo make install

or

./configure LDFLAGS="-static" && make && sudo make install

did not help.

Any pointers on how to get a static tacc binary?

Thanks!

./configure --disable-shared --enable-static gets me most of the way, but you also need to make this change to Makefile.am, because it has `--shared hard-coded`: 55,56c55 < #libtac_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 2:0:0 -shared ---

libtac_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 2:0:0 -shared

Still fails, because we get multiple versions of tac_encryption defined (it's also the case when shared, but apparently we mostly luck out, because the shared library and executable get resolved to their local copies). So fix that:
