Graphviz static build

Dot is not very static by default.

I first installed + compiled cairo-1.14.8 pango-1.40.5 libpng-1.6.29 fontconfig-2.12.1 harfbuzz-1.4.6 pcre and libgd-2.2.3

The source code is all in ~max/software with log.txt sprinkled around with the commands I used. The result is in ~max/usr/lib.

• bz2:
  • change the Makefile and add -fpic to CFLAGS
  • make
  • make install PREFIX=/cluster/home/max/usr
• pcre:
  • configure --prefix=${HOME}/usr --enable-static --enable-utf && make -j40 && make install
• cairo:
  • configure --prefix=${HOME}/usr --enable-static --without-x --enable-xcb=no --enable-xcb-shm=no --enable-xlib-xcb=no --without-xlib-xrender --without-xlib --enable-xlib-xrender=no --enable-xblib=no --disable-xlib --disable-x 2>&1 | less
• pango
  • configure --prefix=${HOME}/usr --enable-static --without-xft --enable-static --with-pic CFLAGS=-fPIC CXXFLAGS=-fPIC --disable-shared
• libgd
  • configure --prefix=${HOME}/usr --enable-static --without-x --without-fontconfig --without-xpm
  • need to add #include <limits.h> to gd_gd2.c, at least when using the 2.2.4 release
• fontconfig
  • change src/fcxml.c, add "return;" in line 560 at the beginning of the function FcConfigMessage
  • This shuts up the warnings. The format of font.conf has changed and on newer centos versions this leads to tons of warnings
  • configure --prefix=${HOME}/usr --enable-static --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-docs --with-pic && make -j30
  • make install does not work
    • cp src/.libs/libfontconfig.a ~/usr/lib/libfontconfig.a
    • cp src/.libs/libfontconfig.so ~/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so

It is possible that only libgd is really needed to get graphviz to work.

Download and extract graphviz 2.28.0

   configure --prefix=${HOME}/usr --enable-static=yes --enable-ltdl=no --enable-swig=no --enable-tcl=no --enable-x=no --with-expat=no --with-visio=no --with-cgraph=no --with-fontconfig=no --disable-sharp --disable-guile --disable-io --disable-java  --disable-lua --disable-ocaml --disable-perl --disable-php  --disable-python --disable-ruby --disable-tcl --enable-shared=no  --with-gtk=no --with-poppler=no --with-gdk-pixbuf=no --with-fontconfig=no --with-gtkgl=no --with-gtkglext=no --with-ann=no --with-glade=no --with-qt=no -with-x=no

After a graphviz compile, cd cmd/dot and

   rm dot_static
   make CCLD="echo gcc"

Based on the output, I constructed this GCC command:

   gcc -g -O2 -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wstrict-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wall -ffast-math -o dot_static dot_static-dot.o dot_static-dot_builtins.o -L/cluster/home/max/usr/lib ../../plugin/dot_layout/.libs/libgvplugin_dot_layout_C.a ../../plugin/neato_layout/.libs/libgvplugin_neato_layout_C.a ../../plugin/core/.libs/libgvplugin_core_C.a ../../lib/gvc/.libs/libgvc_C.a ../../lib/pathplan/.libs/libpathplan_C.a ../../lib/cgraph/.libs/libcgraph_C.a ../../lib/xdot/.libs/libxdot_C.a ../../lib/cdt/.libs/libcdt_C.a -L/usr/lib64 ../../plugin/gd/.libs/libgvplugin_gd_C.a -L/ /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libgd.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libjpeg.a ../../plugin/pango/.libs/libgvplugin_pango_C.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libharfbuzz.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libpcre.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libpango-1.0.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libcairo.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libpixman-1.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libfontconfig.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libexpat.a /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libfreetype.a -lbz2 -lpng12 /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libpng16.a -lz -lm /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.a -lffi /cluster/home/max/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.a -lpthread -lrt -pthread -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/cluster/home/max/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/cluster/home/max/usr/lib

Now it's much more static:

       linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffdd2571000)
