Would Seacan need a static perl for being portable? #5

Open nxadm opened 10 years ago

nxadm commented 10 years ago

Out of the box, perlbrew create a dynamically linked perl binary. This is fine when deploying the seacan result on a similar setup (the same used and installed libraries).

Does this make seacan less portable? Is static linking a solution?

Just some ideas.

Good thought. In the sense that if we wish to be able to just rsync the whole seaman dir to a remote and make it run over there after static links could be a better solution -- in the sense that it does not depend on /usr/lib to have -ldbm -ldl -lm -lutil -lc.
