[gmx-developers] building fully static mdrun

[Szilárd Páll]

Hi,

In some cases it is required or advised to use a fully static linked mdrun,
for instance on some Cray machines. There have been around some (slightly
dirty) workarounds [1], but I think it is not desirable to have such
solutions advised to users.

Implementing this in CMake, beside thorough testing, requires only a couple
of lines of code (especially if enabled for mdrun only). However, first it
would be good to know whether this is useful or not.

Let me know if you know of for which statically linked binaries are
required or advised!

Cheers,
