How to build whisper.cpp to use a Statically Linked Binary (use static linking so it does not depend on build/src/libwhisper.1.dylib at runtime)

[jasonkaplan791]

Thanks for this library.

I want to build whisper.cpp to use a Statically Linked Binary - ie I want to build whisper-cli with static linking so it does not depend on build/src/libwhisper.1.dylib at runtime.
Apparently, this is the simplest, most robust solution for Electron apps.

What are the commands I would need to run to do this?
Thank you!

Does these commands help you?

% cmake -B build -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
% cmake --build build --config Release --target whisper-cli

I ran those on macOS machine.

@KitaitiMakoto thanks so much, this is exactly what I was looking for - the Mac build works now.

Are these instructions the same for windows, iOS (iPhone), Android, etc? Or would I need to do it differently?

Sorry, I have no idea on windows and mobile app.
