A clean static compilation of an eggdrop bot

[_AsHeR_]

After reading a lot of posts here, an idea came to me. A lot of people around are trying to compile their bots statically but use libtclxxx.so to achieve that ... or a .so library is by essence a shared library. What I mean is that such a bot is not *completely* static because it needs the libtclxxx.so to be installed on the machine.
I wrote a little howto to get users compile a *completely* static eggdrop, it's not long and not hard, btw not harder than compiling the bot as usual ::)
Hope it could help.

Code: Select all

#=- HOWTO compile an eggdrop statically
#=------------

#=- Compiling tcl 8.4
tar zxvf tcl8.4.3-src.tar.gz
cd tcl8.4.3/unix
./configure --disable-shared
make

#=- Compiling eggdrop
tar zxvf eggdrop1.6.15.tar.gz
cd eggdrop1.6.15
./configure --enable-ipv6 --with-tcllib=/path/to/tcl8.4.3/unix/libtcl8.4.a --with-tclinc=/path/to/tcl8.4.3/generic/tcl.h --enable-static
make config
make static

The aim of compiling statically or the static versus dynamic advantages are not the point here.
