Docker container to build 7-Zip as a static executable.
You can build the 7zip_static Docker container from source, during the container's build it will create the UASM and 7-Zip binaries as statically linked executables.
In the case of UASM it will compile the executable with Clang as /usr/local/bin/uasm. In the case of 7-Zip it will compile the executable with Clang as /usr/local/bin/7zz and copy it to /opt/7zz.
First, view https://www.7-zip.org/history.txt and get 7-zip's latest build number, for example:
HISTORY of the 7-Zip
--------------------
23.01 2023-06-20
-------------------------
You can see the latest build number is 23.01, so we need to set the variable like so VERSION=2301. Importantly we should set it without the decimal point!
Just run the commands below to build 7-zip as a static executable and copy the binary to the current folder. Make sure to update the VERSION variable as appropriate.
git clone https://github.com/justdan96/7zip_static.git
cd 7zip_static
docker build --build-arg VERSION=2301 -t 7zip_static . 2>&1 | tee build.log
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/workdir -w="/workdir" 7zip_static sh -c "cp /opt/* /workdir"
