Feature Request: static library

[manugarg]

Hi,

I'd like to use pacparser in the CernVM File System ( http://cernvm.cern.ch/portal/filesystem ).  CernVM-FS links statically against most external dependencies and so I would like to do with pacparser.  In order to do so, it would be nice if the make file can build a libpacparser.a, too.

Cheers,
Jakob

Sorry, I wouldn't change the Makefile that comes with the source code as this requirement seems specific to your use case (e.g. I don't package static library with debian or Mac packages). It'll be fairly easy for you do it your end.

I ended up adding an option to makefile to build libpacparser.a: #205. Please note we don't include it in any release distribution as having both dynamic and static libraries is confusing to compilers (they prefer dynamic) and I'd like to avoid changing instructions all over.
