hi HN, for a personal project of mine I needed libvips with several different formats, and it didn;t quite cover my needs. So i sat down for a weekend and setup a simple makefile that compiled all the dependencies of libvips statically and linked together for a single .a file per dependency. However that project never finished and the makefile just sat there. recently i recovered the old makefile and used claude to finally finish what i wanted. you pick the formats using FORMATS="jpeg png webp" and the deps are recursively built, statically. what cannot be built without more effort is installed via the package managers.
