Static build forRaspberry/OpenELEC 5 possible?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Triode,

thanks for your wonderful program! 
I've been using it for the last two years on 4 RasPis and a varying number of 
linux i686 notebooks concurrently in a multi room setup without any problems; 
really great!

Two of those RasPis are on OpenELEC (the other on Arch), and recently got 
updated to OpenELEC 5. OE 5 changes it's policy to compile everything 
statically. So while until now we could just stick in the squeezelite arm6-hf 
binary and had it working instantly, this does sadly not apply anymore.

Would you deem it possible to compile a static build for squeezelite-downloads 
as well? I guess this would help a growing number of people.
Personally, I tried but did not succeed in compiling a static version on 
Raspi-Arch.

Thanks for considering!

Sorry I don't distribute binaries which have the codec libraries included as 
they may be subject to license restrictions.

Ah, I see, no problem.

Do you perhaps have some small hints regarding how to do a static compilation 
oneself? I read somewhere that one needs static libraries for this, but do not 
know if that is correct and how to get those...
