How to bundle shared libraries to distribute Rust binaries

• dynamic_to_static

  1 8 10.0 Shell

  Convert a dynamically linked binary to a statically linked binary going thorugh LLVM IR, using mcsema

  

There are projects such as https://github.com/systems-nuts/dynamic_to_static that do this. Definitely not easy. There was another cool project which I can’t find right now whose readme explains the advantages and disadvantages of static and dynamic linking and then says “my project combines the disadvantages of both solutions”. But yes, bundling shared libraries requires either messing with the linker or making loader shims.

• gtk4-cross

  9 55 3.4 Shell

  A Docker container for cross-compiling gtk4 programs to Windows.

For gtk programs I just put the dll's in the same folder as the binary and distribute it as a zip. Not the most elegant, but it works. I use this docker image to do the bundling https://github.com/MGlolenstine/gtk4-cross
