Perl wasn't fully linking in static binaries. We use these in our release binaries (portable)
Before
After
Problem(s)
Perl Cmake module does not know where to find the
.a
(static archive) soPERL_LIBRARY
is used to supply to theFindPerlLibs
cmake module to look for the perl module instead of the/usr/lib
pathsAfterwards, we have a linker error because the archive does not have a symbol to a
libcrypt
function, thus we link to the static archive of libcrypt
