I have trying to compile the Monero GUI wallet on Mac with the command:

make release-static

But got this error:

CMake Error at /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/cmake/Boost-1.76.0/BoostConfig.cmake:141 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/cmake/Boost-1.76.0/boost_system-config.cmake

  but it set boost_system_FOUND to FALSE so package "boost_system" is
  considered to be NOT FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  No suitable build variant has been found.

  The following variants have been tried and rejected:

  * libboost_system-mt.dylib (shared, Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON)

  * libboost_system-mt.a (shared runtime, Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME=ON)
  
  * libboost_system.dylib (shared, Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON)

  * libboost_system.a (shared runtime, Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME=ON)

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/cmake/Boost-1.76.0/BoostConfig.cmake:258 (boost_find_component)
  /Application/CMake.app/Contents/share/cmake-3.21/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:594 (find_package)
  CMakeLists.txt:166 (find_package)

How can I make the static release of the Monero GUI wallet?

Edit: I have installed static versions of all libraries as advised. Now compilation reaches 100% and the error occurs at the final stage of the build.

  • Did you install a static version of Boost? All the library dependencies need to have their static versions installed if you want to build a statically linked version of Monero.

  • Сan you give a link on how to install static libraries for boost and qt5? I spent a lot of time and did not find anything about it

  • ports.macports.org/port/boost/details (includes the static libs, or build boost yourself) and doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.11/osx-deployment.html (for qt). You're going to need to build/install static versions of all the dependencies.

You need to compile / install static versions of all the dependencies to compile a static version of Monero.

The error you are getting is because boost cannot be found, so compile and install boost, and be sure to build / install the static versions.
