Statically linked pre-built binaries

[vazub]

Currently, only coreutils provide fully statically linked pre-built binaries.

This is immensely useful and allows for increased adoption of this project with alternative distros.

Kindly request similar musl-based, statically-linked binaries for findutils and diffutils. Thank you!

[sylvestre]

we provide binaries here:
https://github.com/uutils/findutils/releases/tag/0.5.0
https://github.com/uutils/diffutils/releases/tag/v0.4.1

musl is missing? is it the request?

[vazub]

@sylvestre they are built against Glibc, and more importantly - are not statically linked. This results in them not being immediately portable across distros, especially concerning those that are Musl-based (e.g. Alpine, Void etc.).

Just to be clear, the request is not about replacing the binaries you already provide, but rather to provide additional fully statically-linked binaries, to cater to a wider audience.

ok
#388
uutils/diffutils#74

should do it in the next release.
cargo-dist supports it
axodotdev/cargo-dist#75

I tried to make a new release of findutils and it fails with:

and for diffutils:

what do people think about using upx to create statically linked files?

[tertsdiepraam]

I don't know. Seems silly to only statically link for people who install that? There are simpler ways to do static linking. It could be a powerful tool, but I don't think this is the right use case.

what do you mean? upx isn't like snap or something, it produces plain executables that have no dependencies. it's not like you need to have upx installed in order to run an executable packed by upx.

[tertsdiepraam]

But it's compressed right? Don't you have to uncompress using the same tool?

[lolbinarycat]

it's self-extracting.

[tertsdiepraam]

Interesting! I'll look into it, but I'd rather try normal static linking first.
