[sclug] Staticly link smbclient

[pieter claassen]

The gory details......

I want to write a module that makes use of smbclient but doesn't place  
any dependencies on the device it will run on.

I was looking at some perl to do this, but the useful stuff that I am  
interested in (perl auth module) basically just wraps smbclient.

Yes, I am trying to build as static as possible version of the  
smbclient (linking against glibc though should be ok, the main concern  
is with the other dependencies).

r at etch:~/dev/samba-3.0.24/source/bin$ ldd smbclient
         linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
         libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb7ec4000)
         libresolv.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libresolv.so.2  
(0xb7eb1000)
         libnsl.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnsl.so.1 (0xb7e9a000)
         libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7e96000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7d65000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7efd000)


Cheers,
Pieter
