[Ecls-list] dynamic linking vs. dynamic runtime

[jon klein]

Hi folks,
I've just started work on embedding ECL into a project (http:// 
spiderland.org/) and have run into a small problem.

I would like to statically link ECL into the project.  If I build ECL  
with --disable-shared, I get static libraries and everything works  
fine.  The problem is that --disable-shared ALSO disabled the shared  
runtime, and when I try to "compile" from within ECL, I get an error  
saying that dynamic linking is not enabled.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, these should be two distinct  
uses of "dynamic" and should not be mutually exclusive.  Is it  
possible to somehow build a version of ECL that can be statically  
linked into a C program, but retain the ability to do runtime dynamic  
linking?

Thanks,
