[Xastir] Xastir compiled static?

[Brad Douglas]

Hey Craig,

Yes, it's certainly possible to have a static binary, but I don't really
see the point unless the libraries used are only used for Xastir and
nothing else.

Basically, you need to compile all dependents to create static libraries
(*.a).  Not terribly difficult, but not necessarily trivial, either.

AFAIK, Fedora (IIRC, that's what you're using) generally does not offer
static libraries, so you'll have to build them yourself.

All dependent software supports '--enable-static --disable-shared'
configure options.
