Greetings,
Is there a way to compile fio as a static binary? I have to use it on
different Linux machines from time to time and I'd like to not alter the
OS image by installing libaio-devel, etc. In some cases I am not able to
make any changes to the installed OS image.
I performed a git checkout of fio and I wanted to ask if there was an
existing/known method to derive a static fio binary from the existing
source tree before I make any modifications or attempts on my own.
Thanks!

There should be nothing preventing a static link of fio, provided that
you have the proper libs installed on the machine where you build and
link it. Should be doable with:
$ EXTFLAGS="-static" make
I have never tried it, though...
