Message:
Statically link deskd for chroot deployment The binary runs inside an OpenBSD httpd chroot with no access to shared libraries. Add -static to the default link flags via a LDFLAGS_STATIC variable that can be overridden (e.g. LDFLAGS_STATIC= on macOS where static linking is not supported). SQLite's static library depends on pthread and math, so add -lpthread and -lm to the link flags. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

 The build uses `cc` with `-std=c23` and links against `-lsqlite3`.
 All other dependencies are satisfied by the C libraries available in OpenBSD base.
 
-On macOS (for development and testing), install sqlite3 via MacPorts and build

+The binary is statically linked by default so it can run inside an OpenBSD
