Is there a way to make a statically linked binary with fortran in OS X? For much of the past year I have been using:
gfortran taxsim.for -static-libgfortran -static-libgcc but since January I only get the error message; ld: library not found for -lm. collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status? This is OS X 11,2,3 Big Sur and fortran version 6.3.0. I need static linking because my users are not developers and do not have Xcode or gcc installed. This is free software. I have seen postings from 2015 suggesting that I rename libquadmath.0.dylib, which I did try but which did not help. Of course I have no need for lquad precision variables, which I understand is the source of the problem. Daniel Feenberg NBER
