Static library on Linux (libxerces-c.a)

[Christopher Hahn <ch...@peregrine.com>]

Hello,

Pardon what must be an FAQ, but searching on the topic found 
the question, but not the answer.

I need to build a static library on Linux for linking into my 
executable, in order to run LSB certification tools against it.

The tried-and-true methods did not work (--enable-static)
and I have not found a reference to static in the docs
(http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build-winunix.html#UNIX)

Please send a pointer to the doc that details this process.
I have the shared lib build working fine.

TIA!

P.S. It seems that this has been asked before, but this thread did not
have an answer:

How can I get a static library (.a) file for xerces-c in linux RH? 
Do I need to hack the install script or is there a straightforward way?
