[2026-03-10T16:22:13Z] hey does anyone here have experience building static x11 libraries [2026-03-10T16:22:50Z] there's a guy in #scc who's trying to do some experimentation with them i guess and kiss seemed like a good environment for those experiments compared to something like alpine [2026-03-10T16:23:02Z] sad_plan: you like that kind of stuff right? aren't you into oasis et al? [2026-03-10T16:25:13Z] ^this is the person who was looking for static x11 stuff [2026-03-10T16:25:17Z] from #scc [2026-03-10T16:25:42Z] hi ppl! [2026-03-10T16:26:17Z] so yeah just throw what you're looking for out there and someone will get back to you. [2026-03-10T16:26:35Z] lots of people here like to tinker with their setups so someone will surely have something to contribute [2026-03-10T16:27:00Z] I am debugging scc, and as part of that debugging I am using suckless dwm like test case [2026-03-10T16:27:32Z] scc only supports static linking, and I tried to build dwm with static linking in alpine [2026-03-10T16:27:57Z] It was not easy, buy I was able to manage to solve all the problems [2026-03-10T16:28:02Z] except one [2026-03-10T16:28:31Z] alpine was delivery a static library (I don't remember the name now) as a LTO static library [2026-03-10T16:29:02Z] that means that instead of delivering an archive with the object files, they deliver an archive with the clang IR code [2026-03-10T16:29:16Z] and ofc that was useless for scc [2026-03-10T16:30:03Z] building that library was a mess, because it requires many dependencies, and the X11 static libraries depend on it [2026-03-10T16:30:30Z] so, no way to get any X11 program linked using scc in alpine [2026-03-10T16:30:58Z] midfavila: commented me about this project, and how it maybe can be useful for my use case [2026-03-10T16:32:28Z] yeah. it's a bit easier to work with kiss since it's not as tightly integrated as most systems. that and a lot of people here have experience futzing about. if nothing else it's a clean environment, and i'm sure someone here has experience with such things. i already pinged him earlier but sad_plan does a lot of stuff with static linking [2026-03-10T18:51:21Z] midfavila: yeah, ive statically linked most of my setup. all the way up to tinyx, and several other misc stuff [2026-03-10T18:52:30Z] k0ga: you can reference https://github.com/hovercats/oakiss. its a mix between using kiss, aswell as oasis as a base. [2026-03-10T18:53:06Z] and I agree with mid here. using kiss is just simpler, as you can fiddle with all the scripts yourself, and not have to fix broken stuff from alpine [2026-03-10T18:53:20Z] dwm should be technically simple to build statically linked too really [2026-03-10T18:57:06Z] never used scc myself though, so cant really speak for anything whcih is specific to scc [2026-03-10T20:28:34Z] https://accu.org/journals/overload/14/71/miller_2004/ [2026-03-10T20:28:42Z] interesting article on recursive make
