Hi Rob,
I'm a linux user, no guru either... I wouldn't mind static linking. You can't
do it for big graphical applications like GIMP, VLC or LibreOffice, the
executables would blow up to gigabytes. But for a compiler, it costs a few
bytes and saves a lot of trouble.
The alternative would be to distribute package manager files (like .deb or
.rpm), which include information on dependencies. But that's the hard way to
make a user happy.
Statically linked executables are quick and convenient for everyone :-)

Hello all,
For creating the Linux (and MacOS) compiler I am using Virtual Box on my
Windows machine. Some time ago a did an upgrade of Virtual Box and that gave
issues. For example I can no longer use the MacOS since it does not work
anymore. Since the number of MacOS users is limited, and setting up this
environment for the MacOS took a lot of time, I will not make a new MacOS
versions of the but will keep the makefile for the MacOS so that others can
create it.
But the question is about something else. For the Linux compiler I am switching
to Ubuntu running on my Windows PC using WSL2. This integrates better with
Windows. The problem is, however, that when I create the Linux compiler now, it
does not run under Linux Mint since it cannot find a library that is
dynamically loaded and that version of that library is not on my Linux Mint
installation.
So I have 2 questions:1) Did you experience any issues with the Linux compiler,
that is, did you had to upgrade or install any library to get it running on
your machine?2) I can solve the issue by linking all libraries with the
application (option -static). This works but this doubles the size of the
compiler to about 1.3 Mbyte (it is normally around 550 kbytes). I do not think
it will slow things down but it will prevent any problems mentioned in 1)
BTW. I am not a Linux guru so maybe some of you have other suggestions.
Please share your thoughts. Thanks.
Kind regards,
Rob
