I want to compile a statically linked version of gedit using the
upstream meson based package.
I've got the sources matching my current Debian 11 system and can do a
build no problem.
What I want to do is statically link the gedit executable. I see the
non-static executable is very small and there is a large library file
libgedit, and using ldd I see the executable wants to call many system libs.
Target is a single statically linked executable which incorporates
libgedit as well as parts of all the system libraries they call.
Meson doesn't obviously seem to support static linked executables.
Any suggestions?
