......@@ -16,37 +16,3 @@ If it doesn't build for you:
./configure --with-libevent-dir=/usr/local
rather than simply ./configure.
If you have mysterious autoconf failures while linking openssl,
consider setting your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the openssl lib directory.
For example, "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/athena/lib".

How to do static builds of tor:
Tor supports linking each of the libraries it needs statically. Use the
--enable-static-X ./configure option in conjunction with the --with-X-dir
option for libevent, zlib, and openssl. For this to work sanely, libevent
should be built with --disable-shared --enable-static --with-pic, and
OpenSSL should be built with no-shared no-dso.
If you need to build tor so that system libraries are also statically linked,
use the --enable-static-tor ./configure option. This won't work on OS X
unless you build the required crt0.o yourself. It is also incompatible with
the --enable-gcc-hardening option.
An example of how to build a mostly static tor:
./configure --enable-static-libevent \
--enable-static-openssl \
--enable-static-zlib \
--with-libevent-dir=/tmp/static-tor/libevent-1.4.14b-stable \
--with-openssl-dir=/tmp/static-tor/openssl-0.9.8r/ \
--with-zlib-dir=/tmp/static-tor/zlib-1.2.5
An example of how to build an entirely static tor:
./configure --enable-static-tor \
--with-libevent-dir=/tmp/static-tor/libevent-1.4.14b-stable \
--with-openssl-dir=/tmp/static-tor/openssl-0.9.8r/ \
--with-zlib-dir=/tmp/static-tor/zlib-1.2.5
