Hi, I have a programm which is linked against some shared object libraries. Now I want to run my prog on a different machine (but same type, x86 linux). So I took the compiled prog and the needed .so files, put both in one directory and tried it on the other machine. That worked fine. Is it possible to tell ghc to take all stuff out of the .so libs and compile my source to a "all-including" executable? I know that ghc just calls the linker which is doing this part. The --static flag for the linker just says: "take the static library if possible for linking...". But I don't have a static version of these libs and I don't want to recompile all libraries. Am I totally wrong? Is this possible in general? Are there some good papers except of the "man ld"?? Cheers Patrick
