Building postgresql from sources, statically linked, linux

Hi,

I would like to have a statically linked linux x64 version of postgresql 14.1 for creating a distributable sample database.

I could not find it anywhere for downloading (someone has a link maybe?), so I tried to build one from the sources.

I am following the instructions on https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/install-short.html and to get a statically linked binary, I add the LDFLAGS='--static' argument to the configure statement.
I guess that is the way do this.

In stead of building on my laptop, I use docker so that building does not depend on what I have installed.
With this Dockerfile building fails.

==== Dockerfile ====
FROM ubuntu:20.04
RUN  apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essential libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev
COPY postgresql-14.1.tar.gz .
RUN tar -xvzf postgresql-14.1.tar.gz
RUN rm postgresql-14.1.tar.gz
WORKDIR postgresql-14.1
RUN ./configure LDFLAGS='--static'
RUN make
RUN make install
RUN adduser postgres
RUN mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
RUN chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
USER postgres
RUN /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

==== end of Dockerfile ====

Why does this error happen?

I seem to be able to work around it by copying some libs: copy /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/crtbeginS.o to /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/crtbeginT.o
A new attempt with this Dockerfile does build the software, but when it then fails with initdb:


==== 2nd Dockerfile ====

RUN rm postgresql-14.1.tar.gz
WORKDIR postgresql-14.1

Anybody has an idea why this does not work or what I am doing wrong and how I can get a statically linked binary?

Without the LDFLAGS the build and the initdb work fine.


Thanks in advance,

Rob

If you are trying to make the server into a monolithic object, that's
not something we support or have any particular interest in supporting.
Extensions such as PLs are always built as shared libraries.  So are
the encoding conversion modules, which your build is failing on before
it gets to any others.  It would take a good deal of fooling around
to change that, both in the build process and in the way that the
core server invokes that functionality.

Statically linking client-side programs such as psql is more within
the realm of feasibility, but you'd have to adjust just those builds
rather than trying to apply --static across the board.
