While building statically linked binaries on macOS is possible, Apple doesn’t officially support it.
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1118/_index.html <https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1118/_index.html> In order to do it, you have to build crt0.o yourself. Here are some brief instructions (warning, I’ve only tested this on macOS 10.12/x86_64) 1. Download the “c startup” source for Darwin from: https://opensource.apple.com/source/Csu/Csu-85/ <https://opensource.apple.com/source/Csu/Csu-85/> and unpack it somewhere. 2. Build with something like SDKROOT=macosx RC_ARCHS=x86_64 make 3. Either, “make install” and the various crt*.o files will be installed in /usr/lib by default. This makes me nervous, so instead, I modified Fossil’s makefile to add a library path to where the locally built crt*.o files reside. This fixes the error “ld: library not found for -lcrt0.o”, but then I’m confronted with errors because I don’t have a static libraries for libz, libcrypto, etc. This is where I stopped. The next question that I don’t know the answer to is how dependent is crt0.o on the version of macOS and the underlying architecture? How many separate Fossil builds would need to be made? I hope you find this useful. — Ryan > On Apr 13, 2017, at 5:21 AM, Richard Hipp <d...@sqlite.org> wrote: > > On 4/13/17, Jan Danielsson <jan.m.daniels...@gmail.com> wrote: >> I think it's better to go back to the original idea of using >> statically-linked libraries for the pre-built binaries. > > That would be good.
