Hi,

I've brought this up before and didn't get ANY answer at all, and I'm sure someone involved with Stunnel would at least know if what I'm asking is possible. I know help is given on a volunteer basis, so if someone could help me figure this out, it would be a huge help. So far I've spent over a week on getting Stunnel or another program to do the job and if I can't get this to work, I need to just drop Stunnel and figure out how to do the same thing in Java. So thanks for any help.

I may need to include Stunnel with my application so my clients behind restrictive firewalls can still enable me to work on their systems with RealVNC.  I'm working with clients on both Windows and Linux.

Is there a way to get static binaries for Linux? I don't know C or C++ or much more than running ./configure && make && make install. I'd like to know if it is possible or what is needed to create static binaries of the files so I could easily install stunnel on any Linux system by just copying over the proper files.

./configure --help | grep static

says it should be easy. I tried it though and on my Debian Sarge system it doesn't work, the net endresult of it is:

meijer@gebbetje:~/pki/stunnel/stunnel-4.14$ ./configure --enable-static --disable-libwrap --disable-shared

meijer@gebbetje:~/pki/stunnel/stunnel-4.14$ ldd src/stunnel libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4001d000) libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x40020000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40023000) libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0x40038000) libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0x4006a000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40169000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

I don't have the time to debug this. Hopefully Mike reads this and jumps in ;0.
