You're closer! GDAL itself is statically linked into those executables, as
are its dependencies...
So, I did a test, and I think this is what you need:
$ mkdir custom-triplets
$ cp vcpkg/triplets/x64-linux.cmake custom-triplets/x64-linux-static.cmake
(a "triplet" is a vcpkg configuration for a particular system/cpu/build
configuration — linux vs windows vs android, static vs dynamic, x64 vs arm,
etc)
Then edit custom-triplets/x64-linux-static.cmake and change the following
to tell it to statically link the system libraries as well:
- set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE dynamic)
+ set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE static)
Then build GDAL using your new triplet:
$ vcpkg/vcpkg --overlay-triplets=custom-triplets --triplet=x64-linux-static
install gdal[tools]
But of course it's not quite that simple... libtiff needs a fix too:
$ mkdir custom-ports
$ cp -a vcpkg/ports/tiff custom-ports/tiff
Then edit custom-ports/tiff/FindCMath.patch and change the following line:
- +find_library(CMath_LIBRARY NAMES m PATHS
${CMAKE_C_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES})
+ +find_library(CMath_LIBRARY NAMES libm.a m PATHS
${CMAKE_C_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES})
(this is super-hacky, there will definitely be a cleaner fix than this, but
it works for this purpose right now)
And there's a static linking issue with something SQLite-plugin-related in
GDAL. So lets reduce GDAL to just the core dependencies and the tools:
$ vcpkg/vcpkg --overlay-triplets=custom-triplets --triplet=x64-linux-static
--overlay-ports=custom-ports install gdal[core,tools]
... go and play in the sunshine ...
$ vcpkg/installed/x64-linux-static/tools/gdal/gdalinfo --version
GDAL 3.8.3, released 2024/01/04
$ ldd vcpkg/installed/x64-linux-static/tools/gdal/gdalinfo
not a dynamic executable
Victory! Now you can hopefully add any other GDAL features/dependencies via
the gdal[core,tools,...] vcpkg feature options. *Fully* static binaries
aren't really a normal tested output, so you might run into further issues.
Hope that helps,
Rob :)
