Static build for chdb-core error

[cyrusmsk]

Operating system
macOS 26.3
M1

chDB version
Latest release of chdb-core

I'm trying to build an example for static library.
I've got this error in the build:

I've used:

LATEST_RELEASE=$(curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/chdb-io/chdb-core/releases/latest" | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/')
DOWNLOAD_URL="https://github.com/chdb-io/chdb-core/releases/download/$LATEST_RELEASE/$PLATFORM"

From the Go repo
Dynamic build seems working

Hi @cyrusmsk, It's a link-time error: a static archive doesn't carry its transitive deps, so you need to pass them yourself.

On macOS arm64, add these flags to your link command:

clang++ your_app.cpp -o your_app -L. -lchdb \
    -liconv -framework CoreFoundation -framework Security \
    -mmacosx-version-min=10.15

Hi @wudidapaopao
Thanks this helped.

For Linux platform any other specific flags required?

[wudidapaopao]

@cyrusmsk on Linux, you can follow the method here and use the following command:
clang chdb_example.cpp -o chdb_example -L. -lchdb -lpthread -ldl -lc -lm -lrt -Wl,-Map=chdb_example.map -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition
