lftp 4.9.1 alpine linux static build - lftp -v and linked libraries issue

[userdocs]

I have managed to create fully static and portable build on Alpine linux 3.11 but i have encountered an odd issue.

Here is the build script and example binary for reference and testing - https://github.com/userdocs/lftp-static

The problem?

When i build lftp only using -static i see this (binary size 10829KB)

Please note the Libraries used: line showing linked libraries.

When i then build using --static -static i see this (binary size 12637KB)

When i do lftp -v there Libraries used: section is blank but for all my testing it appears to be a fully functional and portable binary. I can move this binary to another Linux distro like Debian 10 and use it with no obvious issues.

Is this a bug where statically linked libraries are not listed properly in when using lftp -v?

I tested it using ftps/sftp with this test server https://test.rebex.net/ and it worked fine so it appears the libraries are linked and functional but not showing in lftp -v

Most probably the problem is with dlsym function which does not work in the static binary. It's only used in the version output. I think it's better to suppress the libraries message if it cannot detect any. ср, 29 янв. 2020, 23:53 userdocs <notifications@github.com>:

Ok, thanks for the info. I just wanted to check if it was something minor i can ignore or if my build was failing to link the libraries.

What you said about suppressing the output makes sense.
