build and dynamically link?

[Geremia]

These build-instructions require compiling all dependencies from source and statically linking. Is there a way to build Telegram and dynamically link it?

[Johnnynator]

It can be somewhat dynamically linked, check out the patch sets of various linux distributions. The libs that are used internally and are not in the list of libs you have to compile manually are mostly still statically linked (crl ,GSL, variant, libtgvoip, Catch2).

There's no officially supported way to dynamically link to most of the dependencies, sorry.

[Geremia]

@stek29 Why is statically linking the official build procedure?

@Geremia So that anyone could download a version from site and it just works.
