Support for making libraries

[ghost]

Hello,

I use your GenercMakefiles in every of my projects as I find them very convenient and easier to use than other Make alternative.

Is it possible to add the option to build .a libraries instead of executables?

Best regards.

Hi @marespiaut, glad you have found this to be useful!

I don't have a good setup to test this at the moment, but I believe it should be a fairly simple change to make the file build libraries. Be sure you've set BIN_NAME to library-name.a, then edit line 209 to be $(CMD_PREFIX)ar rcs $@ $^. There a few other things you may want to clean up, for example the symlink created here is pretty pointless with a library.
