Yes, as long as all required libraries are available as static libs. |

You can use ldd binary (e.g. ldd /usr/bin/mplayer) to verify which |
| 20 |
dynamic libraries are needed for a binary. Note that one library may |
| 21 |
depend on other libraries, the default output of ldd is the aggregate |
| 22 |
of all dependencies - ie. what is needed to execute it, rather than |
| 23 |
what it was built against. |
