how to create a static library on macOS? about crav1e

[lu-zero]

As mentioned in the README.md make or cargo build will generate it.

You may use make install to install it, currently on /usr/local/ is a valid destination target but it will change once we switch to cargo-c to build it.

Example:

$ make install
mkdir -p /usr/local/include/rav1e /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
cp rav1e.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
cp target/release/librav1e.a /usr/local/lib
cp target/release/librav1e.dylib /usr/local/lib/librav1e.0.1.0.dylib
ln -sf /usr/local/lib/librav1e.0.1.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/librav1e.dylib
cp include/rav1e.h /usr/local/include/rav1e

Thank you for the reply. I checked the build.rs file and didn't see any static libs - only dylib.
Then in the readme the following did not mention .a either: the library will be in target/<debug or release>/librav1e.<so or dylib>

But yes, I missed that part:

# Build librav1e.a, rav1e.h and rav1e.pc
$ make

My bad and sorry for the noise.

No problem, I'll update README.md again during this week so it is good to note where to clarify.
