Is there a way to ditch the server and unify the client with it?

you can download the source code and compile the server and client
with make all
you will find the binary of the server in ./bin/retro [client] ./bin/retroPlayer [server]

so you can run the server separately

I want to make the client start the server and both be a single file. Seems like I will have to write a wrapper and use PELF to make it be a single binary that includes ffmpeg and ffprobe too.

Is there really no supported way to do this?
