Building a statically linked imager.
The following instructions are for building a statically linked imager for Linux and Windows. Unfortunately, Linux distributions no longer ship statically compiled libraries, hence one needs to build all dependencies themselves.
In the following we create a directory structure for static libraries set using –prefix. This will force dependencies to be built from there instead of using the system’s libraries.

Building for windows.
The following instructions are for building windows binaries, on a Linux
system. On Ubuntu systems one must install the mingw platform first (using
apt-get install g++-mingw-w64 mingw-w64).

On very old versions of windows the binary might fail with a message “unable to find strerror_s in msvcrt.dll”. This is because such old versions do not contain the function strerror_s, but they do contain strerror. The easiest way to fix this is to hexedit the import table of the binary - simply find the string strerror_s and replace the _s with null bytes. This makes the same binary work fine on older windows versions.
