[Lazarus] Linux Binary without "dynamically linked"?

[Jalal]

Perhaps I wrote too soon. I see this option for fpc:

-Xt        link with static libraries (-static is passed to linker)

I will try that.

This is more of a FPC question, but I know FPC gurus visit here...

The file program on Debian shows my Linux command line binary like this:

ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Is it possible to have full static linking? If so, how do I get a binary with full static linking? Is there an option that can be used on the fpc command line?

I realize the benefits of dynamic linking, but there are some situations where static linking would make life simpler, particularly for deployment to machines I do not control.

Thanks!
