Re: [Denemo-devel] Static Linking (was Re: tablature status (August 2012))

[Richard Shann]

This looks like excellent progress.
I think you just need to include the relevant glibc library. What may
have you confused is there are two completely different libraries, glib
and glibc. The first is part of gtk, it gives us g_list_new() and such
like stuff. The second is part of gcc, it gives us printf and so on
(that is, it is the standard C library). I am guessing that the old
version of Ubuntu had an old (<2.15) version of glibc installed
system-wide, but this couldn't be used. So what you have created might
execute on some linux distros. Well, once the GUILE_LOAD_PATH is set...
