Most of the proposal doesn't break rockspec compatibility: Some Rocks already install static libraries (e.g. LuaPosix). Creating a static library in addition to the shared library in the "builtin" build mode just requires one new command line in each compiler backend. But where do we put the generated include files? One common directory relative to the rocks tree? In the rocks dir? Do we need a new `luarocks cflags luafilesystem` command for linking to the static library? And do we really need the `--static` option? Are there situations where building a shared library will succeed, but building a static one will not? (Creating a github issue won't hurt, though, and we can move the discussion there.) > > Btw; if I understand correctly, it builds only the library to be used for > static linking?
