FWIW, I encountered similar looking errors while trying to configure and
build a statically linked gvim binary . The complete information (including
configure logs etc.,) can be found at
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_use/rQBp0rsJ98U .
To summarize, consider the following
rajulocal@hogwarts:~/compile_static_gvim_native/problems$ cat conftest.c
/* confdefs.h */
#define PACKAGE_NAME ""
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
#define PACKAGE_VERSION ""
#define PACKAGE_STRING ""
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
#define PACKAGE_URL ""
#define UNIX 1
#define STDC_HEADERS 1
#define HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H 1
#define HAVE_SELINUX 1
#define FEAT_HUGE 1
#define USE_XSMP_INTERACT 1
#define HAVE_LIBNSL 1
#define FEAT_NETBEANS_INTG 1
/* end confdefs.h. */
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
int
main ()
{
XrmInitialize ()
;
return 0;
}
This program compiles without the "-static" option. But gives errors
otherwise.
The following command works. But the one after does not.
