I try to link the gnutls library statical (libgnutls.a). I already did something like this with OpenSSL, which worked out perfectly wit the command line: g++ test.cpp -statical -lcrypto -ldl -o test. But if I try right the same with the gnuTLS library(g++ test.cpp -statical -lgnutls -ldl -o test), I get a lot of errors like this:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.a(privkey.o): In Funktion `_gnutls_privkey_decode_ecc_key':
(.text+0x818): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `asn1_create_element'
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.a(privkey.o): In Funktion `_gnutls_privkey_decode_ecc_key':

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.a(privkey.o): In Funktion `_gnutls_privkey_decode_ecc_key':

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.a(privkey.o): In Funktion `_gnutls_privkey_decode_ecc_key':

Is there a possibility to link the gnuTLS library statical?

see here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=164934 – Azad May 11 '15 at 15:39
@Azad The only way proposed at this link, is to add libtasn1. If i add this library, the error remains the same. – Maximilian May 11 '15 at 15:46
do you have libtasn1 static object? also you are using the latest version right? – Azad May 11 '15 at 15:48
cause they mentioned it's fixed upstream – Azad May 11 '15 at 15:48
Yes I do have it (libtasn1.a). For the version, I think so, just downloaded it today: Version 3.2.11 – Maximilian May 11 '15 at 15:51
can you post result of `nm /path/libtasn1.a | grep asn1_create_element` put the appropriate path in there – Azad May 11 '15 at 15:55
U asn1_create_element ...........\n 00000830 T asn1_create_element.............\n Sorry for Format – Maximilian May 11 '15 at 15:57
did you place -ltasn1 before -lgnutls or after it? – Azad May 11 '15 at 16:01
symbols of static objects are resolved from left to right – Azad May 11 '15 at 16:03
I just tried both without success, error remains the same. – Maximilian May 11 '15 at 16:03
where is your libtasn1.a? – Azad May 11 '15 at 16:05
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtasn1.a – Maximilian May 11 '15 at 16:06
where is libgnutls.a ? – Azad May 11 '15 at 16:08
try `-L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/` before `-ltasn1` – Azad May 11 '15 at 16:11
still remains the same error – Maximilian May 11 '15 at 16:15
is this the only libtasn1.a on your system? (cause your libgnutls.a path in the error is different) try `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtasn1.a` instead of `-ltasn1` – Azad May 11 '15 at 16:19
Yes it is the only libtasn1.a, and if I use the path instead, it makes no difference – Maximilian May 11 '15 at 16:22
sorry I have no more idea you might want to statically link only one library in that case you can try this `-Wl,-Bstatic,-lgnutls,Bdynamic` (no space) – Azad May 11 '15 at 16:29
thank you for you help, but that also doesn't solve the problem. – Maximilian May 11 '15 at 16:32
