i had use gotk3 for development. it works very well, but now there has some problem that bothers me. I can't share the compiled program to my friends and run it on his machine (he isn't programmer and don't know How to configure gtk3 development environment), can you help me how to solve this problem?

Hi, I don't think anyone can help you without more details about end-user issues ...

i just want gtk-static library with golang

hfmrow commented 5 years ago

AppImage ?

Bios-Marcel commented 5 years ago

@hfmrow That has nothing to do with static compiling afaik :D

hfmrow commented 5 years ago

An appimage may include all necessary gtk libraries to run compiled program ... Sure it's not a static library.

Bios-Marcel commented 5 years ago

Well, it only works for linux systems running the app image deamon though. That's like not too many desktops on this planet :smile:

hfmrow commented 5 years ago

Your right, not enough desktop on linux, sadly ...

Appimaged is an optional daemon not needed to work.
A good example of gtk3 integration is the most known Gimp appimage version. To explore appimage content, it can be mounted or simply change extension to zip and opening it.
It does not work on Windows OS but MacOs have his switcher.

@hfmrow is right, appimages don't need a daemon, so they should work for this purpose. Other options: https://snapcraft.io/ https://flatpak.org/

If you know which distro your friend is using you can compile for it using a Linux container. The resulting binary will work on their system as long as they have GTK3 installed.

Maybe the above mentioned solutions were good and could help, otherwise I have the following: go build -ldflags "-linkmode external -extldflags -static" ...

Whereby this project uses the cgo interface and therefore a go standard functionality and the golang developers have already thought of something.
