[Xymon] Compiling a static linked xymon client for RHEL 6.x

[Gorm J. Siiger]

Hi all

I have searched the archives for a solution to this problem, but none of the discussed issues helped me with a final solution.
My goal is to monitor an appliance which is based on RHEL 6.x and for that reason I have tried to build a static linked xymon-client on CentOS 6.4

The client compiles just fine when using dynamic linked libs, but when trying to compile a static linked with "CGLAGS = -static" in the Makefile it fails with:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[1]: *** [test-endianness] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gjs/Downloads/xymon-4.3.10/lib'
gmake: *** [lib-build] Error 2

Any wise ideas on how to proceed with this ? :)

Best regards
