Issues with static build (Amazon Linux) (still requires libgd.so.2)

[ffxsam]

This was not straight-forward and unfortunately required a lot of manual builds of libraries (Amazon's fault). The last one I'm stuck on is libgd. Despite using BUILD_STATIC=1 in the cmake step, audiowaveform still requires libgd.so.2 when I run it. This is the only library that wasn't built into the executable for some reason.

Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?

[ffxsam]

If I remove gd-devel entirely and build it myself configure --enable-static --disable-shared then make, I get a libgd.a file that I put in /usr/lib64. I also copy the *.h files into /usr/include. Then in the audiowaveform folder I run cmake -D ENABLE_TESTS=0 BUILD_STATIC=1 .. and that works fine. Finally, I run make and get:

@ffxsam, do a ldd audiowaveform to see what is still being dynamically linked to your binary. It should link the c and c++ libraries only. I suspect your problems are with libpng not libgd....

[ffxsam]

@ajbarber I can't build a static binary (see above). The make step fails. If I install gd and gd-devel, then it builds ok, but it relies on libgd.so.2: (this is after I remove the gd libraries again)

	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffffc175000)
	libgd.so.2 => not found

@ajbarber Hi Adam, just wondering if you're able to help. I can offer compensation for your help/time, as well.

[ffxsam]

Got it! I had my cmake command wrong. Instead of cmake -D ENABLE_TESTS=0 BUILD_STATIC=1 .., I did cmake -D ENABLE_TESTS=0 -D BUILD_STATIC=1 .. and it resulted in a makefile that properly built the binary. Dumb mistake.

@ffxsam I'm also having issues with the static builds for this for amazon linux, as i want to use it in a lambda. Are you able to share your static builds?

@hkjasf687261gh Happy to share. It was a total pain to build, honestly, and I hope I never have to do it again. 😅

[raedatoui]

@ffxsam any chance you can share your build script?

[ffxsam]

@raedatoui Unfortunately it's not that simple and clean. It was a massive headache finding and installing all kinds of libraries. So I don't have a simple script that built everything and resulted in a single binary.

For future me's needing a static binary for AWS - I just sent in a pull request with a Dockerfile that'll build one for you. Available here
