As Knoppix _is_ Linux, you won't need a _cross_-compiler. The ordinary
one will suffice.

I am sure that you will be able to run your program using the same cd
that you used to compile it.

You want to link statically if you intend to run this on different
versions of Linux.

(But then I've read on Usenet that thusly compiled executables can
crash. Apparently there's something weird going on if you use this
statically linked executable in combination with certain (or all
other?!!) libcs or kernels. Try and see; both dynamic and static
linking. Or even a combination.)


Right,
