Provide statically linked binaries

[suntong]

Tring to compile imei to be used in aws lambda, and I'm getting:

$ ldd /opt/bin/identify
/opt/bin/identify: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /opt/lib/libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.so.10)

It turns out that the AWS provided.al2 Lambda is using glibc 2.26. Yet, I was building with 3+ years old ubuntu:20.04 and am still unable to satisfy its glibc requirement. And even the 5+ years old ubuntu:18.04 still unable to satisfy its glibc requirement.

When trying to build with ubuntu:16.04, the build failed:

MagickCore/.libs/libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.so: undefined reference to `FT_Set_Default_Properties'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:8196: recipe for target 'utilities/magick' failed

So, please provide flags to support building statically linked binaries. thanks.

You mean, you need a flag that modifies the --disable-static flag while building IM?

Ah, found what you meant, and yes, that should do it. But,

Let me try it out first... will get back to you next week or the week after next.

So I removed the --disable-static flag while building IM, but this is what I get:

/tmp/ime $ ldd bin/magick
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc49f23000)
        libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.so.10 => not found
        libMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI.so.10 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9d7fd87000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9d7ff8a000)

I.e., if libMagickXxx are not found then the above are the only libs needed.

I.e., if libMagickXxx are found, then all the above extra libs seems to be needed by them.

All in all, would you try removing the --disable-static flag while building IM at your end and see what you get please?
