The old build static script is useless. Let's replace it with AppImage as suggested ina comment below

It clones from master, so it will build the most recent... However the deps might not be up to date at all.

Ah yes. We just like to leave irrelevant comments around

@prateekmedia could you check this out? Probably you can fix it without a lot of pain.

Better - just make -static an arg to build :-)

@cfsmp3 Could you explain what needs to be done in this? I looked at the file, ran it and it gave ccextractor-README.txt not found error.

This will give you some context

https://github.com/CCExtractor/ccextractor/issues/597

Note that I renamed the script from @traceypooh to build-static.sh without actually changing the context (not a great idea, I realize).

Still, the script is obsolete now but the idea is good.

Are we able to produce a static binary using Docker as container? (docker is great for this because you can have a reliable environment no matter the starting point in the host).

If you think that's not possible, or really a lot of work, I guess we should just remove build-static.sh for now because obviously it's not working and it's just going to confuse people.

@cfsmp3 I think building static is not something we should do, instead why not build an AppImage (which is a universal format) and it will be able to run without being dependent on the system dependencies.

That's a really good idea.
It would also solve the eternal issues with tesseract training files, etc

@cfsmp3 Do you mean that tessdata should not be in the AppImage itself but installed separately?

No, the opposite! If we could have a AppImage that included tessdata it would be fantastic.

And if the image came from the CI so we could always have a known good nightly it would solve most of our issues with fixes taking forever to reach users because we release a new version once a year or so.

Hey, Can i try making AppImage in replace of build-static.sh file
Or this issue is just for the CCExtracter team?

@IshanGrover2004 You can began by reading appimage creation documentation and look at how other softwares are packaging the appimage.

Hi,
I have studied about AppImage from its official docs and have gained a good understanding of how it is created and red the build-static.sh file.
The build-static.sh file contains so many not working commands and links.
I am planning to make a .sh file which will run a docker alpine and setup the static library binary through which ccextracter binary file will be made which will be further placed it into AppDir and make final .AppImage file and then cleanup everything. I want to confirm if my approach is correct.
