Hmm, how about archive and/or object files for static linking ? An
approach that I saw in mormot ( I don't know if it is the same in OPK
I didn't check the package there ... )
Not good, you need to provide this for all possible architectures, and
that's not
possible for most people.
Yeap, I understand this. I'm still thinking my options .

Distributing binaries is simply a big no-no. You must rely on the package
manager of your system for that.
You've got a point. After all, someone that uses a IDE and a compiler
AND want to install some packages, I assume that is capable enough to
use his system's package manager to solve any dependencies that may
exist ...
Exactly my reasoning.
Michael.
