You may change the C compiler and the compilation flags as well, and also decide whether to build the static library or not. +In cases where you need to compile only the static or dynamic variant of +the library, you can use BUILD_STATIC_LIB and BUILD_DYNAMIC_LIB at compile time: + $ make BUILD_DYNAMIC_LIB=1 BUILD_STATIC_LIB=0 +If you disable both, the compilation will abort with an error message. + +If you want to compile against the static version of the library +you can do: + $ make USE_STATIC_LIB=1 + Optionally, you can run "make strip" prior to "make install" if you want smaller binaries.
