We, AskCoin.Net need gapcoind compiled in static mode for Ubuntu 14.04 64bits.
Binary available at https://github.com/gapcoin/gapcoin/releases is only compiled for 32-bits Linux.

How to compile GAP wallet in static mode for 64-bits Linux?
UNIX BUILD NOTES does not explain how to build wallet in static mode.

The new release contains an statically linked 64 bit version for linux, compiled under Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit:
https://github.com/gapcoin/gapcoin/releases/download/v0.9.2-rev2/gapcoin-rev2-linux.zip

There currently exist no documentation to compile Gapcoin (or Bitcoin) statically, at least none, I know of.
But it is very similar to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0 you just have to change some config parameters.
You also need to compile mpfr and gmp libraries.

Thank you very much.

We've installed the new wallet compiled in static mode. It works fine.
We'll add GAP/BTC market after sync is ready.

1. How did you do the new release that has static binary?

If necessary, I could write a documentation to statically compile Gapcoin.
2. If it is not hard work it would be great.

Usually we compile wallet with using a makefile.unix file like:
Code:
sudo make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=- USE_IPV6=0 USE_QRCODE=0 STATIC=1

It is not static at all but it works in other machines.
