Hey,

I'm trying to build a static binaries, to embedd tiff2pdf in my java application.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, I have been able to build a tiff2pdf binary using shared libraries but I failed to build a static one.

I'm not really familiar with makefile so I probably haven't used the right configuration, here's what I did:

A tiff2pdf executable is built, its size is 1.6M but running ldd on it shows that it's not a static binary.

~/prog/tiff2pdf/tiff-4.0.3/tools? ldd ./tiff2pdf
    linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff7e7fe000)
    libjpeg.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.7 (0x00007f822aa34000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f822a72e000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f822a367000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f822ac8c000)

Having read this post, it might not be possible http://www.asmail.be/msg0055326082.html

Is there a way to build a static version of tiff2pdf? If yes how?

Thanks for your help,

Joel
