Description

Compiling CoCoA-5 with static libraries would avoid annoying multiple releases for 10.5, 10.6, ...
C. Soeger succesfully compiled Normaliz with "-static-libgcc".
If it works for us as well we have to insert this in the configuration.
... and what about external libs?

On my machine (Mac OS 10.5) the default configuration for CoCoALib uses "-lgmp" (assuming it is installed in a normal place). At link time the linker prefers the dynamic library over the static one. So to obtain an executable wit statically linked GMP, I must configure with an explicit --with-libgmp=/usr/local/lib/libgmp.a thereby forcing the static linking. Of course, on my machine I have installed both static and dynamic GMP libraries (the default for a GMP installation).

I believe this static/dynamic ambiguity exists only for the "shortcuts" to the system installed libraries.

I noticed that CoCoAInterpreter for 10.5 works on my 10.6.
... so John fixed it?
What about viceversa?
John: could you download release for 10.6 and see if it works on 10.5?

#7 Updated by John Abbott about 10 years ago

I tried cocoa-5.0.9-text-mac10.6.tgz (28 Mar 2014) on my machine; it did not start

$ ./CoCoAInterpreter 
dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
Trace/BPT trap

Since Mac OS X 10.5 is now more than 5 years old, we have decided to stop worrying about it (for the binary releases).
