Everyone, I have spent quite a bit of time digging around for this on the net with now luck. We have a pretty simple ocaml app for which we would like to distribute an executable binary. For the most part this works. However, we would like to minimize the number of binaries that we are forced to distribute. We would also like to avoid any confusion on the part of our users around figuring out which version of glibc they are using. For example, we would like to avoid distributing a binary for each version of glibc available. Its more work for us and has a chance of confusing some of the folks using our work. Considering the simplicity of our binary it seems like a good solution would be to be to just statically link against glibc (our only non-ocaml dependency). So it would be great if someone could give me pointers to docs that describe how to do this. Extra points if I can easily do this with OCamlMakefile. If there is another way to accomplish our goals I am more then willing to entertain them, as there are a lot of potential problems involved with static linking against glibc. Thanks, Eric
