i wanted to make 64 bit static build too, but it turned out that apgcc (from autopackage) doesn’t work correctly with 64bit libs. that means, there won’t be 64 bit static build in the nearest future - so if you have 64 bit system, there are following choices:
build it yourself
use 32bit version (it should work if 32 bit versions of libgtk2, libalsa, glibc are installed)
wait for packages for your distribution
some important information
if you are building from tarball, and wondering where are the aosdk, DUMB, shn and some other plugins – they are not there :) they were moved out of tarball to get the player into linux distributions with strict licensing policies, where they want clean tarballs, without any traces of code that’s not GPL licensed.
but plugins are still in git, and they are in the static build archive. i will also prepare them as separate downloads a bit later.
