Static compliation

[MrLint]

Please forgive my ignorance, but is there any way to compile xar as
static on os X?

Yes, it possible. I did it using an xcode project, but you can
probably use './configure --enable-static' and then, make, make
install.

Hi, thanks I'll try that. I attempted to set some of the other
configure variables which didn't work, I think I may have
misinterpreted the help for configure.

You should probably also add --disable-shared. The linker will use the
shared library if one is available even if you tell him to use a
static library.
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared

I didn't try with xar but it works with some other projects. Also,
make sure that there is no other libxar.dylib already installed on
your system, else the linker will use it.
