SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Static linking simplifies building portable executables by embedding libraries into the binary, reducing runtime dependencies across platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

Platform-aware CMake configurations for Linux, macOS, and Windows
Built-in verification using verify-static-linking.py to confirm static linking
A reusable example template (example-CMakeLists.txt) and a build helper (build-static.py)

Quick Start

Run the build-static.py script to configure, build, and verify a static binary for your project.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build statically linked binaries for cross-platform deployment?▼

Verify static linking by running a dedicated binary verifier script that checks the compiled executable to confirm all dependencies are embedded, ensuring the final binary is completely standalone and free of external runtime dependencies.

Can I use CMake to generate portable standalone executables across operating systems?▼

Yes, CMake can generate portable standalone executables by applying platform-specific static linking flags for Linux, macOS, and Windows, often utilizing a reusable CMakeLists template to enforce the correct build configuration.

How do I verify that a binary is truly statically linked?▼

Verify static linking by running a dedicated binary verifier script that inspects the compiled executable to confirm all dependencies are embedded, ensuring the binary is completely standalone across deployment environments.

Does static linking work for CI workflows and vendor software distribution?▼

Static linking works for CI workflows and vendor distribution by producing standalone executables that eliminate external runtime dependencies, allowing portable binaries to be deployed seamlessly across different target machines.

What is the best way to automate static linking for a cross-platform build?▼

The best way to automate static linking is executing a build helper script that configures the project, compiles the binary with platform-specific flags, and immediately verifies the output for standalone portability.
