Build statically linked binary

[emcmillan]

If I build the binaries using "cmake .; make" as per the build instructions, the resulting binaries fail to run unless I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to "/usr/lib64/mysql" AND I have the libmysqlclient.so.20 library in it. However, the delivered binaries don't require the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting, and are mach larger (10MB vs 256K). How can I build the binaries like the delivered ones so they don't need LD_LIBRARY_PATH set?

Thanks

In this file: https://github.com/mydumper/mydumper/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml you will find the CMAKED option like this:

        CMAKED: "-DMYSQL_LIBRARIES_mysqlclient:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.a"

with the static library. Depending of the OS and version you will find it on different locations.

I must be doing this wrong. Adding the flag to the cmake command didn't help. cmake still says it's using the so file, the binary didn't change size, and it still requires the mysql client library before it will work.

`[root@a6105a0b1154 src]# cmake . -DMYSQL_LIBRARIES_mysqlclient:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.a

-- Using mysql-config: /usr/bin/mysql_config

-- Found MySQL: /usr/include/mysql, /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so;/usr/lib64/libm.so;/usr/lib64/libatomic.so.1;/usr/lib/libcoredumper.a;/usr/lib64/libssl.so;/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so`

did you rm CMakeCache.txt before cmake?
