## Building a Statically Linked Routinator
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While Rust binaries are mostly statically linked, they depend on libc
|
|
|
|
|
|
which, as least as glibc that is standard on Linux systems, is somewhat
|
|
|
|
|
|
difficult to link statically. This is why Routinator binaries are actually
|
|
|
|
|
|
dynamically linked on glibc systems and can only be transferred between
|
|
|
|
|
|
systems with the same glibc versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, Rust can build binaries based on the alternative implementation
|
|
|
|
|
|
named musl that can easily be statically linked. Building such binaries is
|
|
|
|
|
|
easy with rustup. You need to install musl and the correct musl target
|
|
|
|
|
|
such as `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` for x86\_64 Linux systems. Then you
|
|
|
|
|
|
can just build Routinator for that target.

On a Debian (and presumably Ubuntu) system, it goes somewhat like this:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install musl-tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
|
|
|
|
|
|
cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --release
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
