building linux standalone tarballs

prebuilt tarball of the most recent release.

2012-09-28 18:21:39 -04:00
Linux standalone build now includes its own glibc and forces the linker to use it, to remove dependence on the host glibc.
2013-12-16 01:51:19 -04:00
This tarball should work on most Linux systems. It has basically no
dependencies and is self-contained.

adding arm64 build, and improved termux installation process * Added arm64 Linux standalone build. (No autobuilder yet.) * Improved termux installation process. Added git-annex-install.sh script to avoid user needing to type as much in termux. The scope of this script is limited; runshell handles the rest. Runshell runs termux-fix-shebang on the shell scripts. The problem is the bundled bin/sh script, deleting that script also works, but then the others probably use the system Android /bin/sh, which could be old or broken or not posix or whatever. Using termux sh to run the scripts is better. This commit was sponsored by Eric Drechsel on Patreon.

The x86-32 build for ancient kernels is for use with Linux kernel
versions such as 2.6.32. It will work on both 32 and 64 bit systems.

document how to build standalone tarball
2020-08-10 15:17:04 -04:00
## building it yourself
This entails building git-annex from source, so you will first
need to get that working, see [[fromsource]] for some of the details.
In git-annex's source tree, run `make linuxstandalone`. This will build
git-annex from source, and then build the tarball bundle, into eg
`tmp/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz`
This build process is done on a Debian system, and it needs to use
`dpkg` to examine the host system.
