Compile Iperf3 static binary on Gentoo

iperf3 static compile.md

iperf3-static

Compiling Iperf3 statically on gentoo and cross-platform compile as well as on other platforms

Some Warnings

• Configure doesn't like spaces in directories

Prep

I presumed you are cd into ~ or $HOME

mkdir Compile_Drop
cd Compile_Drop

Gentoo/Linux

Set USE FLAGS

sudo nano /etc/portage/package.use/openssl and insert the line dev-libs/openssl static-libs

Dependencies

Depedencies x64 sudo emerge openssl

Dependencies x86

sudo emerge openssl[abi_x86_32] --autounmask-write
sudo dispatch-conf
sudo emerge openssl[abi_x86_32]

Dependencies ARM (This step is only necessary if cross Compiling)

sudo emerge crossdev

Then follow this guide https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Crossdev

crossdev --stable -t aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
crossdev --stable -t arm-linux-gnueabi

Set static-lib use flags

sed -i 's/USE="${ARCH}"/USE="${ARCH} static-libs"/g' "/usr/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/etc/portage/make.conf"
sed -i 's/USE="${ARCH}"/USE="${ARCH} static-libs"/g' "/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/etc/portage/make.conf"

Emerge and install openssl static-libs

emerge-arm-linux-gnueabi dev-libs/openssl -v
emerge-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu dev-libs/openssl -v

Compile commands x86/x64

./bootstrap.sh

Compile x64

./configure --enable-static-bin --disable-shared 
make -j$(nproc)
strip -s src/iperf3

Compile x86

export CC="gcc -m32"
export CXX="g++ -m32"
./configure --enable-static-bin --disable-shared 
make -j$(nproc)
strip -s src/iperf3
unset CC
unset CXX

Compile commands for ARM system

Compile ARM (Something is wrong with the ARM cross compiler so only works up to v3.15)

Replace the configure command ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --enable-static-bin --with-openssl="${HOME}/Compile_Drop/opensslARM" with ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --enable-static-bin --with-openssl="${HOME}/Compile_Drop/opensslARM" --disable-shared LDFLAGS="-latomic" and compile on ubuntu instead.

# You might want to change this line to a valid directory where you compiled stored openssl
./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --enable-static-bin --disable-shared 
make -j$(nproc)
arm-linux-gnueabi-strip -s src/iperf3

Compile ARM64

# You might want to change this line to a valid directory where you compiled stored openssl
./configure --host=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --enable-static-bin --disable-shared  
make -j$(nproc)
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-strip -s src/iperf3
