Yad Static build for Linux

This repository is just a CI that publish a GH release with the latest yad version compiled in a static binary with everything, so it is self-contained.

Right now doesn't compile with gtk-spell support to keep lightweight.

How works

CI

• Check if a tag 'v*' or 'nighly-*' exists
• Initialize a ubuntu docker image
• Install dev dependencies
• Download the latest version from the yad repository
• Compile it using the --enable-standalone official parameter
• Using packelf generate a static binary with everything
• Zip it and update the release with the asset

The advantage of this, is that if you try the same workflow in your machine the build can be 80~mb (in my case) as find more library that the package could need. Instead in this way it is just the stuff that need to work.
