Statically link executables

[Familex]

Here is ldd ./client_backend of version 0.1.0 on my machine:

$ ldd ./client_backend
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007f7de8fe9000)
	libssl.so.3 => not found
	libcrypto.so.3 => not found
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /nix/store/dffyikn59cy7fff2qd60gs9jl63szqnh-xgcc-13.3.0-libgcc/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f7de8fbe000)
	libm.so.6 => /nix/store/0wydilnf1c9vznywsvxqnaing4wraaxp-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f7de8ed8000)
	libc.so.6 => /nix/store/0wydilnf1c9vznywsvxqnaing4wraaxp-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f7de7e09000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /nix/store/0wydilnf1c9vznywsvxqnaing4wraaxp-glibc-2.39-52/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f7de8feb000)

Such undocumented and unbundled dependencies could lead to unexpected results (e.g. systems old glibc can throw version errors).

Usually such standalone binaries or links statically or packaged as AppImage.

And my NixOs can't run it out of the box for the same reasons (solvable, but requires setup):

$ ./client_backend
Could not start dynamically linked executable: ./client_backend
NixOS cannot run dynamically linked executables intended for generic
linux environments out of the box. For more information, see:

You don't have libSSL installed, thats why it can't find it. Search from your package manager's repository and install them.

Debian: sudo apt install libssl-dev
Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S openssl
NixOS devbox add openssl@latest
