I have a yocto build setup for a NXP dev-board. I can build images just fine and I thought this would be a simple way to cross compile a static library that I need for another project.
I added a recipe for the package, sqlcipher, and added sqlcipher-staticdev to IMAGE_INSTALL in local.conf.
This leads to me building sqlcipher just fine but I'm only getting dynamic libraries. I want to have a static library but even though I set DISABLE_STATIC = "" in the recipe I get nothing.
It has not been as easy as I first thought but is there a way to do this kind of thing? Is there something else that needs to be done to build a static lib?
DISABLE_STATIC is appended to EXTRA_OECONF. Please check whether sqlcipher uses autotools to configure and whether has '--enable/disable-static' configure option.
