digitalmars.D.learn - Compiling vibe.d application for Amazon ec2 instance

Hi all!

I made vibe-d application, and client give me already taken 
hosting for it on Amazon aws ec2, uname -a:

22:22:50 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Compiled on my Ubuntu binary don't run because of different 
versions of libraries (on Amazon they older).

I can try to install dmd to ec2 instance but don't think this is 
good idea. I want to compile binary on my developing machine (may 
be in specific OS in VirtualBox).
How to resolve this problem by right way?

Can I get VirtualBox image of ec2 version of Linux and use it on 
my machine?
Can I compile all libraries used as static and make more 
independent binary?
Something else?

I've never used EC2, so I don't know what it would take to be able to build
in the same environment locally (though I would certainly think that there
would be a way do to so, and I would assume that Amazon's documentation
talks about it somewhere). However, you can try just grabbing the .zip file
for dmd and putting that on your EC2 instance and using that to build your
program there - especially if you're in a hurry.

You can also try fully statically linking, but it's a bit of a pain, since
last time I checked it doesn't work right if you let dmd do the linking
command, which means that you have to use it to generate the object files
and then manually link them using gcc.

You should try -static in ldc, it's works like a dream for me :)

Yep, LDC supports fully static linking on Linux (and is currently 
the only compiler to do so).

I would find out the AMI of the image you're going to be running 
on, and spin up a machine from that.
Install all dev tools there, and compile.

Then you'll be good to go.

You could even export the ec2 VM and run it locally in VirtualBox 
or something. I've never done it, but it's apparently possible.
