Hi Volker,
Hi!
Is it possible to link the remaining libraries statically too?
Yes, it is possible to generate fully statically linked Haskell binaries. Though it requires a bit of setup. For example the GNU C library glibc is not really intended for fully static linking, but you can use musl as an alternative libc instead.
Probably the easiest way is to use static-haskell-nix [1]. Usage instructions are available in the project README. See [2] if you're not familiar with Nix.
This looks complicated, even though it is the easiest way. I've tried to build it from the git sources, as well as from the latest release, but that failed. I'd have to look into nix, which is new to me. Be it as it may, it isn't that important for me right now. But thank you very much for your tips. Maybe I'll be going back to them later. Cheers, Volker
Recently, the Haskell extension to Bazel, rules_haskell, also gained the ability to generate fully statically linked binaries building on top of Nix, see [3].
Best, Andreas
