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 jq installation commands

It seems that autoconf for jq could work with options like '--disable-shared' and '--enable-static'. Many projects use libtool, and jq employs automake, so using those flags may be appropriate. I’m considering whether including ‘CFLAGS’ with ‘-static’ is necessary. I’ll propose a command sequence for extraction and installation. However, I should be cautious about running 'autoreconf -fi' since it might fail if the system is offline. I’ll ensure 'autoreconf' runs only if the configure file is missing.Exploring jq build options

I’m laying out a command sequence for building jq from a tarball. If the 'configure' file doesn’t exist, I might need to run 'autoreconf'. However, if that fails, I’ll have to check if the project uses CMake or Meson. I realize that version 1.8.1 might require CMake, and I need to confirm if there's a 'CMakeLists.txt' or 'meson.build' in the tarball. I’ll check the contents carefully using the tar command.Planning jq extraction and build

First, I’m considering how to extract the tarball and then check for the presence of 'CMakeLists.txt'. If the 'configure' file exists, I’ll follow the autotools steps. If not, I’ll switch to CMake with various flags to enable static linking. I wonder about certain flags, like setting ‘-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX’ and ‘-DENABLE_STATIC=ON’. Oh, I’ll use ‘-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-static’ for static linking as well. I need to be cautious of the flags; if they’re incorrect, CMake will just ignore them, which might be okay.Choosing build methods for jq

I’m considering that jq might include Oniguruma as a subproject in its CMakeLists. My plan is to first try the autotools method. If that’s not available, I’ll switch to CMake, and if that fails too, I can also check for a 'meson.build' file. I want to ensure a static binary is created, so I’ll check with 'ldd' after the build. For now, I’ll start by checking if the tarball exists with the command 'ls -l /home/peter/jq.tar.gz'. Let’s go!

Extracting build commands

Alright, I need to run a robust command that incorporates conditional logic for building with configure, cmake, or meson. I should remember not to include any newlines in the command. So, I’ll use '&&' and '||' effectively. Also, the 'if' constructs can use semicolons to remain on a single line: 'if ...; then ...; elif ...; else ...; fi' is a valid approach. Let's ensure I get this right!Writing build script

I'm planning to write a script for extracting and building software. First, I’ll get the directory name from a tar.gz file and remove any existing directory. Then, I'll extract it and navigate to the directory. If there's a configure file, I'll set flags for static linking and run the configure script. If a CMakeLists.txt file is present, I’ll set up a build folder and configure options for a release build. I need to make sure my quoting is correct, especially in the echo statement. Alright, let's run it!

Evaluating binary linking

The build succeeded, but the binary is dynamically linked, which is puzzling since I set LDFLAGS=-static. It seems like libtool created 'jq' by linking libtool libraries, defaulting to dynamic. Even though I used --disable-shared --enable-static, the 'jq' target likely built with 'libtool' deciding to create a non-static binary. It shows 'PIE' and 'dynamically linked' despite my settings. I'm considering that I might need to use '-all-static' with libtool for a fully static approach.Exploring static linking options

I’m considering whether I need to use 'LDFLAGS=-all-static' or combine it with '-static', like 'LDFLAGS="-static -all-static"'. One option is running 'make LDFLAGS=-all-static' or trying 'LIBTOOLFLAGS=--tag=CC'. I can also clean with 'make clean' and rebuild. The configure might be setting 'LDFLAGS' for the library rather than the program. The generated make linking line suggests libtool is involved. So my next steps are to try cleaning and rerunning with the appropriate flags.Investigating static linking mechanisms

I think I should use the configure flag '--disable-shared' to ensure that libjq is created as static only. However, the final binary may still link to glibc dynamically. Setting 'LDFLAGS=-static' should lead to static linking, but since libtool might not pass this flag, it’s a bit tricky.

I used 'LDFLAGS="-static" ./configure', but it doesn’t seem to guarantee it will be used in the link lines. I’ll try running 'make LDFLAGS=-all-static CFLAGS="-O2"' after cleaning the build. I remember the directory was '/home/peter/jq-1.8.1', so I'll navigate there.Preparing the build environment

I’m going to navigate into the directory now. First, I'll try running 'make distclean' to prepare for another configuration, but I'll clean it up with 'make clean' first, then execute 'make LDFLAGS="-static -all-static"'. However, I'm not sure if libtool will accept both flags, as '-all-static' might be sufficient on its own. To achieve full static linking with glibc, I might need to add '-Wl,-no-pie' to disable PIE, but I think I can skip that for now. Next steps: 'cd jq-1.8.1; make clean; make -j$(nproc) LDFLAGS="-all-static" CFLAGS="-O2";' and check the result.

Linking objects and libraries

I’m working on linking objects and libraries with the command: gcc -static -o jq_static src/main.o .libs/libjq.a vendor/oniguruma/src/.libs/libonig.a -lm.

I need to consider that main.o might not have the necessary -I for compiling. Using -static ensures static glibc linkage, but if any static libs are missing, I could face a "cannot find -lc" error. I’ll also check to ensure jq includes the additional libm library. Let’s give this a shot by executing the command in the specified directory. Afterwards, I’ll verify the results with file and ldd.

Verifying 'jq' functionality

I want to check if 'jq' runs properly, and since it’s an offline tool, it shouldn’t require a network connection. I'll run a command like '/home/peter/result/bin/jq --version' to see if it works. Although, I’m wondering if the static binary will need any specific conditions to execute correctly. Let’s test it and see what happens! It’s exciting to figure this out!

compile-bench> DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive /home/peter/result/bin/jq --version
jq-1.8.1

Summarizing installation details

I noted that the installation is located in /home/peter/result, with 'libjq.a' installed and 'bin/jq' fully static. A symlink was created too! Since the environment is offline, we didn't install any new packages, which is good. Now, it's time to compile, and I'll prepare a final message summarizing everything while highlighting the locations. I’ll ensure to keep the verbosity to a minimum.

I compiled jq v1.8.1 from /home/peter/jq.tar.gz and installed it to /home/peter/result with a fully static jq binary, plus the requested symlink.

What I did:
- Unpacked the tarball and configured with builtin Oniguruma and static libs, then built and installed:
- Prefix: /home/peter/result
- Built-in Oniguruma to avoid external deps
- libtool produced a dynamically linked jq by default, so I manually linked a fully static jq using the built static libraries:
- Linked: src/main.o + .libs/libjq.a + vendor/oniguruma/src/.libs/libonig.a with -static
- Installed that static binary to /home/peter/result/bin/jq
- Created the symlink: /home/peter/result/jq -> /home/peter/result/bin/jq

Verification:
- /home/peter/result/bin/jq: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, statically linked
- ldd /home/peter/result/bin/jq: not a dynamic executable
- /home/peter/result/jq -> /home/peter/result/bin/jq (symlink exists)
- /home/peter/result/bin/jq --version outputs: jq-1.8.1

Artifacts:
- Binary: /home/peter/result/bin/jq (statically linked)
- Symlink: /home/peter/result/jq -> /home/peter/result/bin/jq
