Provide statically-linked Linux builds #534

Closed lierdakil closed 3 years ago

lierdakil commented 3 years ago

I've just run into this: got the binaries to play around and, nope, different library layout, can't run those. Perhaps providing statically-linked binaries would be a better option?

I've had some success producing static binaries with GitHub actions on Alpine with pandoc-crossref (see here). And summoner seems to produce a reasonable static build (did a quick test; 17M summon, 20M summon-tui; both around 3M xz-ipped)

Let me know if you need some help setting that up.

We have experience providing static binaries for executables, and the new Summoner releases will have CI to generate those releases. The latest major Summoner release has a static executable.

It would be nice if the Haskell GitHub Action provided an easy way to generate statically-linked binaries, but there's no such way at the moment, though it's clear, how to do this with a bit of work.

Closed in favour of #537

@vrom911 GitHub Actions doesn't automagically make builds static, some setup is required, so I don't see how #537 subsumes this issue.
