You can check with the following command if you executable is static: $=> ldd jalv2-native And you must get the following message: not a dynamic executable
Or, you can install MIdnight Commander (it looks like Norton COmmander from MS-DOS) with sudo apt install mc then run it, navigate to the jalv2 executable, position the bas/cursor over it and press F3 button. After a red dialog that announces you that there are no symbols, press enter and you will get a window with details about the executable. You get more info than using just the ldd command.
