Dear CygWin community,
I haven't got from the FAQ how to report problems in CygWin, so I email
to this maillist again.
The current package v2.7.7-1 does not include the file /lib/libxml2.a,
which I need for static linking. When I compile the package manually via
"configure & make all install" I got all files I need:
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
...
$ ls -1 /usr/local/lib/libxml2*
/usr/local/lib/libxml2.a
/usr/local/lib/libxml2.dll.a
/usr/local/lib/libxml2.la
but the output of "cygport libxml2-2.7.7-1.cygport prep compile" reports:
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... no
I have found out that "--disable-static" is explicitly passed to
configure. Maybe it was done on purpose. Is it possible to enable static
libraries assemble?
Thanks in advance.

With best regards,
