As of d03aedae51946ac490dea8e7044b36ebc003f876, passing -tags static
to a Fotomat go get
, go build
, or go install
will try to build a static binary.
Unfortunately on Debian Jessie, libxml2-dev doesn't include a static library and is a hard requirement of VIPS. And on CentOS 6, neither ImageMagick-devel nor libwebp-devel include static libraries, which would require dropping at least GIF and WebP support.
Instead, I'll look at making binary packages that'll work on various versions of Linux.
Now shipping binary packages with releases v2.2 and above.
I'll need to make proper source packages instead of this Docker-based hack at some point, but I might be able to delay that until VIPS 8.2.2 and Go 1.5.3+ are available on our target distros.
Closing for now.
Is it possible to build a static binary for Linux x86-64? The dependencies are kind of a pain to get installed.
Barring that, how about bundling everything in something like AppImage?
