Hi Robert, because I'm not getting anywhere with the "standard" CMake solution, I've now used the vcpkg you mentioned and am using it in a Virtualbox VM with Linux Mint.
I got the installation instructions from here: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start-unix. I have installed the Linux developer tools (see instructions). I have installed vcpkg under 'root@vmuser-VirtualBox:/home/vmuser/Git/vcpkg'. When installing the libraries, it seems that a lot of dependencies are also loaded, compiled and installed in the now large set of directories. The directory './vcpkg/packages/<packageName>_x64-linux' now contains the compiled static versions of the libraries. But where can I find the GDAL apps? These are not contained in this directory. I am still new to the topic of "self-compiling". Do you have any tips on what else I need to do?

Which platform are you working on? If you need a fully static compilation of everything all the way down including openssl + zlib + zstd + libtiff + all the other libraries, using vcpkg[1] might be a reasonable approach. By default it does static compilation on macOS & Linux, and it has a static compilation option on Windows (the default on Windows is dynamic). It doesn't support every compile option though, but it's customisable and if you're after a reasonably vanilla GDAL it should work ok. There should be no dynamic dependencies. Note that GDAL + Proj (maybe others), have data files they rely on, so while you may be able to get a single executable, you'll still need to distribute these files. I can imagine ways around that, but they're getting fairly complex. Unfortunately, I have not had any success so far. The library is created statically but the apps are not yet. Does anyone have experience with this topic or possibly a procedure that leads to success? Can you share the process you've currently got to? Rob :) [1] https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
