I have seen some references to compiling libwww linked programs
statically, but as with those posts that mention it I get linker errors
when I try to compile with the -static.

I am trying to compile some of the examples

gcc -o load -static `libwww-config --cflags` load.c `libwww-config --libs`
/usr/lib/libwwwcore.a(HTWWWStr.o): In function `HTMessageIdStr':
HTWWWStr.o(.text+0x849): the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use
`mkstemp'
/usr/lib/libwwwcore.a(HTInet.o): In function `HTGetTmpFileName':
HTInet.o(.text+0x8a4): the use of `tempnam' is dangerous, better use
`mkstemp'
/usr/lib/libwwwapp.a(HTInit.o): In function `HTConverterInit':
HTInit.o(.text+0x221): undefined reference to `HTXML_new'
HTInit.o(.text+0x248): undefined reference to `HTXML_new'
/usr/lib/libwwwapp.a(HTInit.o): In function `HTTransferEncoderInit':
HTInit.o(.text+0x472): undefined reference to `HTZLib_inflate'
/usr/lib/libwwwapp.a(HTInit.o): In function `HTContentEncoderInit':
HTInit.o(.text+0x4c1): undefined reference to `HTZLib_inflate'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is the example that grabs a URL and returns its length. Dynamically
linked compiles work fine.

The reason I want to be able to compile a static binary is that I want to
be able to place the program I am writing onto a RO filesystem and not
depend on any local libraries.

So if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Terrence
