term.everything

I use alpine for this [1] reason, but I will admit that this is a premature-optimization. I haven’t actually ran into the problem myself. —— Your code is great, I do basically the same thing (great minds think alike!). The only thing I want to add is that cgo supports pkg-config directly [2] via // #cgo pkg-config: $lib So you don’t have to pass in linker flags manually. It’s incredibly convenient.

I didn't see an explanation in the README that part of what the first GIF[1] shows is an effect created by video editing software (and not a screencapture that's just demonstrating the program actually running). "Screen images simulated" are the words usually chosen to start off the disclaimers in fine print shown at the bottom of the screen when similar effects appear in commercials. I think that it would make sense to adopt a similar explanation wrt the effect used for the GIF. 1. <https://github.com/mmulet/term.everything/blob/main/resource...>

I ran into this issue when porting term.everything[0] from typescript to go. I had some c library dependencies that I did need to link, so I had to use cgo. My solution was to do the build process on alpine linux[1] and use static linking[2]. This way it statically links musl libc, which is much friendlier with static linking than glibc. Now, I have a static binary that runs in alpine, Debian, and even bare containers. Since I have made the change, I have not had anyone open any issues saying they had problems running it on their machines. (Unlike when I was using AppImages, which caused much more trouble than I expected) [0] https://github.com/mmulet/term.everything look at distribute.sh and the makefile to see how I did it.
