Embed image magick ? #58

Open abour opened 4 years ago

abour commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to embed image magick ? (I mean having all the lib statically linked in the binary)

nlfiedler commented 4 years ago

Despite working with Rust for a while, I admit that there are some things I don't know yet. I presume that it is very possible that the library can be statically linked into the binary, I just don't know how that is done exactly.

See also issue #57 which seeks to incorporate ImageMagick into a "sys" crate that would make the build easier. I suspect, as with the Rust wrapper for RocksDB, that the library would then easily be statically linked into the resulting binary.

Ok thank you. I took a look on rocksdb crate. It seems rocksdb was designed to be embedded. Concerning ImageMagick, I think it will require more work because it has some dynamic dependencies. I did a quick check with otool -L (mac equivalent of ldd):
