I want to deploy syslog-ng-2.1.3 messageing tool on various Solaris OS (8,9,10).
As per my understanding if I build it on Solaris 8 with --enable-static-linking option successfully, I would be able to run same program on any Solaris installation that is same version or later than the system on which it was created. Otherwise I have to build same tools (syslog-ng-2.1.3) on number of Solaris machines and that will take time and effort.
I am not sure by doing --enable-dynamic-linking/--enable-mixed-linking option, I will be able to achieve same result.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
As far as I know, later Solaris versions wouldn't necessarily work with statically linked libc. http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/programs/abi/appcert_faq.xml#q10 -- Bazsi
