(Almost) Static build script for Bear - ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ Build EAR with both 32-bit and 64-bit support

About

Bear is an excellent tool for collecting compiler flags and information and producing helpful information for IDE to provide suggestions. I faced a problem when cross-compiling programs on other platforms using a 32-bit compiler, which will need a 32-bit version of the shared library in Bear, thus creating the script to generate it.

Limitation

The build is not static linking glibc, and they still need basic glibc library >=2.31 to work. According to Repology, common & possibly working distributions are:

1. Ubuntu 20.04+
2. Debian 11+
3. Fedora 32+
4. OpenSUSE 15.3+

Build

Pre-built binaries are on the Release page, and the version maps to the Bear version.

1. Clone the repo
2. Build the docker image with Dockerfile: sudo docker build -t nagi1999a/calmbear .
3. Start the container: sudo docker run -it -v ./:/docker
4. Inside the container, run the build script: bash build.sh
5. After building, built files will be in output folder, and you can close the container now: exit
6. Install 32-bit libc and libstdc++ and copy all files in output folder to the desired path.
   1. For Debian-based distribution, just run sudo bash debian-install.sh.
   2. For other distributions, manually put the libraries and executables will be needed.
