Pacman-Static

Precompiled and statically linked Pacman (The package manager for Arch Linux) binary for Arch Linux.

Why would you need them?

There are some reasons why you might be looking for these statically linked binaries:

  • You have accidentally deleted Glibc or any other C Library implementation.
  • You accidentally deleted a shared object required by the dynamic binary.
  • You want to avoid the "dependency hell" paranoia.
  • You want to port Pacman to a different Linux distribution.

Building Instructions

The release page has a pre-compiled & statically linked binary for x86_64 architecture. You can build the source on your own on Arch Linux with makepkg. Ensure that you have the build-essential tools which includes Autoconf, Make etc. Install them on Pacman with

sudo pacman -S base-devel

Build Pacman with the following -

git clone https://github.com/chaitanyarahalkar/Pacman-Static.git
cd Pacman-Static
sudo makepkg -si

Download

Get the x86_64 architecture statically linked Pacman binary tools from the releases page.

The package includes the following binaries:

  • The Pacman package manager linked statically
  • Pacman Configuration Generator
  • Pacman PKGBUILD tester
  • Pacman Version Comparator
  • Pacman Delta Repositories Cleaner

Future Scope

  • Creating a shell script to seamlessly port Pacman to other Linux distributions.
