Suggestion: add static binary files #9

Hi,

As vblade can be compiled static, then I suggest to put in the repository binaries for common platforms (x86, x64, arm, mipsbe, etc.).

You agree?

Hi, @lars18th. Usually we would leave that to the various Linux distributions. A distribution with support for mipsbe would include a package (RPM, .deb, etc.) for mipsbe, for example.

If you have a specific distribution that you prefer, would you consider becoming a package maintainer for the vblade?

Hi @ecashin ,

Several LiveCD and/or Embedded linux devices don't have the option to manage packages. Also, when you don't have access to a package repository this is not an option. And as the vblade can be compiled STATICALLY, why not include binaries? For example: Linux x86, Linux x64, Linux ARM, Android ARM, MacOSX x64, openwrt mipsbe, etc.

We really appreciate this!

I'll leave this issue open, and folks who want static binaries can comment here indicating what their favorite static binaries would be.

1) Linux x64 2) Linux x32 3) OpenWRT (Linux) mips 4) Android (Linux) arm64 (AArch64) 5) MacOSX x64
