Task
Task: jq-static

jq 1.8.1 is a command-line JSON utility for viewing and transforming JSON.
Project link: github.com/jqlang/jq

Task:
Compile and install statically-linked jq to a specific location.

Difficulties:
Static linking requires correctly configuring the build.

Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64, without internet access.

Execution log
SYSTEM

You are a package-building specialist operating a Ubuntu 22.04 bash shell via one tool: run_terminal_cmd.
The current working directory of every run_terminal_cmd is /home/peter.
Execution rules:
- Always pass non-interactive flags for any command that could prompt (e.g., -y, --yes, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive).
- Don't include any newlines in the command.
- The environment is offline, assume you have all the necessary tools already installed.
If you encounter any errors or issues while doing the user's request, you must fix them and continue the task.
At the end verify you did the user request correctly.

USER

You are given a jq v1.8.1 source code at /home/peter/jq.tar.gz. Please compile the jq package and install it to /home/peter/result. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/jq to the compiled jq binary. The binary should be statically linked.

Considering static linking for jq installation

I'm focused on how to install the jq package with static linking. Typically, I'd use "LDFLAGS=-static," but I need to make sure static libraries are available on Ubuntu. The user wants jq installed in their specified directory, /home/peter/result, and wants to create a symlink for easy access to the compiled jq binary. I'll configure with the right prefix and ensure everything is statically linked. It’s a bit tricky, but I’ll get it sorted!Ensuring static libraries for jq build

I need to confirm that both libm and libonig are static. The bundling includes oniguruma, which is built statically. I may want to use options like --disable-shared and --enable-static during configuration to ensure the static library links correctly. The jq build instructions show that I should use autoreconf -fi, followed by a specific configure command for static builds. I'll keep in mind potential complexities with linking static glibc, especially with the -fPIC flag. I'll double-check the build options!Planning jq build steps

I’m outlining my plan to build jq. First, I’ll create a build directory at /home/peter/build-jq and extract the jq tarball there. I need to check for a configure file or run autoreconf -fi since autoconf is preinstalled. I'll set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for static linking. The ./configure command will use specific flags, and then I’ll run make -j$(nproc) to utilize all cores. After installation, I’ll create a symlink and verify that the binary is statically linked. Sounds like a solid plan!Verifying static linking for jq

To check if jq is statically linked, I’ll run file /home/peter/result/bin/jq or ldd to verify the output. If it shows “not a dynamic executable” or “statically linked,” we’re good! I also need to consider that the compiled jq might create a binary inside the src directory, so I’ll ensure to create the necessary symlink after installation. Regarding the jq.tar.gz file, I'll extract it to the build directory using the correct tar command and check the extracted directory name carefully. It’s all about covering those edge cases!Outlining the jq build process

To build jq, I’ll first create the required directories. The extraction of jq.tar.gz will include using --strip-components=1 to simplify the source tree layout. I’ll verify whether to run autoreconf -fi, using a conditional check for the existence of the configure script. The build will proceed with the appropriate flags for static linking, ensuring libraries like oniguruma are included. After installation, I’ll verify that jq is statically linked and set up the necessary symlink. It’s a detailed plan, but I think I can manage it!Setting up the jq build

I’ll navigate to the build source and check for the presence of the configure script. If it’s absent, I’ll run autoreconf -fi to generate it. I’ll configure with specific flags to enable static linking and minimize unnecessary dependencies. The build will be started with make, adjusting for static linking as needed. After installation, I’ll create a symlink for jq. Lastly, I’ll verify that jq is statically linked by using file or ldd. Let’s kick off the process by creating necessary directories and extracting the tarball!

Checking directory contents

I’m planning to check the directory contents to see what files are present. I expect to find files like "jq" and "src/main.c." For the onig component, it should be "src/onig." I’ll run the command "ls -la" to list everything I’ve extracted and get a better overview of what’s in there. This should help me manage the files effectively!

Compiling jq

I’m looking into jq and the "jq.1" manpage. It seems like the onig-config was created from Oniguruma included in the 'vendor' folder. The top-level onig-config stub likely serves an internal purpose. Now, I can run make -j$(nproc) to start compiling. However, I noticed the last configure step flagged the absence of Bison and byacc. Thankfully, Bison isn't necessary since pre-generated parser files exist. Time to proceed with running make!

Investigating linking issues

I’m noticing that the term "dynamically linked, PIE" hints that things aren’t static, even when I set LDFLAGS to static during configuration and compilation. It seems libtool didn’t pass -static for the final link of "jq" because of some confusion with variables. While "CFLAGS" and "LDFLAGS" are set accurately for other components, I suspect libtool used only "LDFLAGS" for the final link without including -static. I should check the link line and run "make V=1" for details, then rebuild accordingly. Maybe I’ll need to use "-all-static" with libtool for complete static linking.Rebuilding with static linking

I need to rebuild by using "make clean" first, and then I should set "LDFLAGS=-all-static" or specifically "jq_LDFLAGS=-all-static" for the linking step. Using libtool, this will enforce static libraries.

I’ll run "make distclean" to start fresh, and reconfigure with the static libraries enabled. Then, I can use "make LDFLAGS='-all-static'" to ensure the final link is done correctly. I should also check if the existing "LDFLAGS" might conflict with the settings. Running "make V=1 LDFLAGS='-all-static'" will help verify the process, and if needed, I can try bypassing libtool entirely for a direct build.Preparing for installation

I realized that just running "make install" would only copy files, but I haven't run the install step yet. To get things back on track, I should first execute "make clean" to clear any previous builds. After that, I’ll rebuild the project with LDFLAGS set to -all-static. This should help ensure that everything links correctly before I proceed with the installation step. It feels like I’m getting closer to the solution!

Noticing static linking

I'm seeing that it used "-all-static" and the link line shows "-static -o jq ... -lm libonig.a -lpthread -pthread" for static linking. It's interesting to note how these flags specify certain behaviors for the building process. Static linking means all necessary libraries are included in the executable, which can make it larger but also more standalone. I’ll keep this in mind when discussing build configurations and options for the future!

jq-1.8.1
ASSISTANT

Completed.

What I did:
- Extracted /home/peter/jq.tar.gz into /home/peter/build/jq-src
- Configured to build static only and installed prefix /home/peter/result
- Built with libtool’s -all-static to ensure a fully static jq
- Installed into /home/peter/result and created the symlink /home/peter/result/jq -> /home/peter/result/bin/jq

Verification:
- Version: /home/peter/result/bin/jq --version => jq-1.8.1
- Static linking: file /home/peter/result/bin/jq => statically linked
- Symlink: ls -l /home/peter/result/jq => /home/peter/result/jq -> /home/peter/result/bin/jq

Locations:
- Binary: /home/peter/result/bin/jq
- Symlink: /home/peter/result/jq

If you need the build directory preserved for reference: /home/peter/build/jq-src
