Icecast - Feb 2005 - Could anybody kindly add statically linked icecast 2.2.0 download to www.icecast.org?

This is important to Debian users -- packets exists only for testing and
unstable version of Debian Linux.

Hi,

I have Icecast running on a Debian stable box, I compiled it from source. 
Works nicely.

Geoff.

You forgot to say various essential things, like what platform you want it for.

Regardless, the answer is going to be "no" - we don't have the
resources to provide builds for arbitrary platforms. We make a special
exception for windows, because it's particularly difficult for windows
users to build it themselves (and because we have people who are
willing to do those builds).

You shouldn't have any difficulty building it from source on debian stable.

Have you checked out http://backports.org/ ? Maybe you could ask them to 
build a backport package.

Another reason to have statically linked version -- to place it in a
separate partition in order to run already chrooted.
No need to update libraries. Ideal security.

Linux / i386, I think statically linked file will fit to ANY distribution.

Of course. But if you are actually using linux/i386?

Hmm...
1. I have to get libxslt-dev from backports.org (thanks to David Anderson)
2. I have to REMOVE libogg* and libvorbis* debian packages and compile them
from sources
3. Now I have icecast2 dinamically compiled, so I shall test it...

Now I have to figure out how to make statically linked version...
