Here are well written instructions for a static compilation of cpuminer:

At least if you win a lottery you win millions of $ but with cpu mining even if in 10 years you find 1 block you have only 25btc...
Gabi, you don't believe in chance.
There are still non-zero probability to find block, even on cpu.

There is a reason why the last reply is from June 2011, cpu mining is dead. And gpu mining will die very soon as ASIC arrives
Up!
I'm too looking for instruction to make static on x86_64 linux platform

BTW I forgot - if you want to run it on a machine where you do not know the # of cores :
-t `cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep processor|wc -l`
-t `cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep processor|wc -l`
I guess your minerd is not static - I would have at least used CFLAGS=-static somewhere
Anyway, try to take the last compine line and run it manually with gcc -static -Wl, -static to see if it works
I guess it won't because it will try to use the distribution curl (for some reason I don't want to spend time investigating) and mess up with the dependancies. You may want to install it in a path and remove the default one. See http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2006-09/0128.html for a similar suggestion.
But all that is a waste of time. I've prepared a binary for you on :
https://rapidshare.com/files/515355188/minerd.linux.x86_64
Let me know your arch (i386.. ?) and I will compile another static binary for you if that's not what you need.
Donations welcome :-)

I've never done this but take a look at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/gcc-compile-static-and-so-537575/
One of the answers suggests you need .a (archive) versions of the libraries.
I have already seen this, and yes I do have .a versions of libs.One of the answers suggests you need .a (archive) versions of the libraries.
will do a try on a computer where there are none of the libs installed, with the hope that compilation will stop saying "this is missing"...

Hi there 
I've spent hours (days, actually) on something where I still get stuck: I cann't compile this as fully static binary.
Here is how I do it:
- Got a directory where I expanded the archive.
- In this directory, I've downloaded source of curl, including libs,
- In curl directory, I've downloaded gnu-tls source, including libs.
Then I do:
I go into gnutls26-2.8.6/lib and give it a make:
Then back to curl, and I configure again:
Then I make my lib curl:
Then I autogen, and I configure the miner:
Then I make it, and I get a "minerd" binary.
When I try this binary on another x86 system, this is what I get
How can I statically compile the cpu miner so that I could use "anywhere"?

jgarzik-cpuminer-602e31b

Then I do:

When I try this binary on another x86 system, this is what I get
Code:
