How to include ZSH modules in static version?

How to include ZSH modules in static version?

[Andrej Borsenkow]

May be I missed something, but ...

I compiled 3.1.5 statically without dynamic loading support. It looks, like
some modules are missing - notably, I cannot find stat command any more.

What was wrong? Is it possible to explicitly say (a la apache) which modules
should be compiled in statically? Would be a nice addition.

thank you

Read the INSTALL file.  You need to add the module names you want to the
file Src/modules-bltin (why the missing vowels, someone?) in the build
tree (not the source tree, if the two trees are not the same).  If you
don't do this, the modules in Src/xmods.conf in the source tree are the
ones included by default (I don't think that's documented anywhere).

(Boy there are a lot of parens in that paragraph.)

There's a lot of information about modules buried in the Src/mk*.sh and
related files that probably ought to get moved to a file in Etc/ with a
more obvious name.

Oops! RTFM ...

thank you. I actually was confused, that after compiling patched ZSH it got
no modules at all. Looks like modules-bltn simply was not updated.

thanks once more

It's supposed to get removed by `make distclean', but for some reason
it isn't.  I hate debugging makefiles.
