Try something like this:
1. Get the source code of readline from your nearest gnu mirror.
2. configure the source. Check if there is some configure options like
--shared and --static ?
3. compile
4. keep the objects. ( *.o )
5. make a new library archive
ar q libreadline.a *.o
6. run ranlib on that that archive.
ranlib libreadline.a
7. put this file (libreadline.a) into your gnubg build directory
8. modify your gnubg Makefile so the linking line includes -L. before all the
other paths to link libraries.
Hopefully this will link your readline statically to your gnubg. After a build
linke this I think you should remember to strip gnubg.exe after building.
strip gnubg.exe
(I think this was about what I did I those days.... )
Remember: I don't think you can combine GTK interface with readline though!
But yes, it will be very usefull for a gnubg-no-gui.exe.
