Compile a Standalone Static Executable


I'm trying to compile an executable (ELF file) that does not use a dynamic loader. I built a cross compiler that compiles mips from linux to be used on a simulator I made. I asserted the flag -static-libgcc on compilation of my hello.cpp file (hello world program). Apparently this is not enough though. Because there is still a segment in my executable which contains the name/path of the dynamic loader. What flags do I use to generate an executable which contains EVERYTHING needed to be run? Do I need to rebuild my cross compiler?


Solution

  • Try using the -static flag?
