Remove need for LD_LIBRARY_PATH=build/subprojects/curl-8.0.1/build/lib/.libs/ #5

Closed cyclops1982 closed 5 months ago

cyclops1982 commented 8 months ago

We currently need to add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=build/subprojects/curl-8.0.1/build/lib/.libs/ to our client executables. We need to avoid that.

If our target environment is some fully functional system (say, a Debian machine), we could statically link just curl (and the other deps we build, of course), and pull in curl's deps (there's a lot of them right now!) from the system.

For smaller targets (embedded systems running old OE or OpenWrt builds) we should be as static as possible, perhaps only counting on a certain glibc/musl-version being available.

For both cases, but especially for the latter case, making our curl build smaller probably makes sense. In fact, we use so few features, and WebSockets is actually such a simple protocol, we may ditch curl some day.

That all said, for now, perhaps we can at least do some RPATH (if that is what it's called) magic in the build, so a dev build works without LD_LIBRARY_PATH

39 seriously reduced this to just libc/libz/libm and openssl

fixed in #60 !
