Static build

[wanmich]

Hello crew,

Is there any plan to make it possible to build a portable archive with all the dependencies for MacOS? that way, scrcpy can be integrated to other mac applications easily. (don't have to go steps like brew install ffmpeg sdl2 to make it work).

Thanks,

In theory, yes, a static build including the relevant parts of ffmpeg and sdl.

In practice, it's not done. See https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/818#issuecomment-625976482

Emm. It looks there's more work to be done. Thank you.

Really need the static build version. Is anyone working on it?

An advice that meson contains a sub function called wrap, which can help to download and compile dependencies on platform without package manager (Windows, e.g.), I've managed to build static windows build for my own project (see https://github.com/AlynxZhou/flipclock/commit/88a8a17fcf1a5001de70aeddbcb174fa39b4585f), if someone want, they can try it.

But personally I think using a good package manager is correct.
