Subject: build: Link subprojects statically if built as a subproject
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=57abac5bc890292c1d60c6df6ebef5987c2cbef2;p=thirdparty%2Fdbus.git

build: Link subprojects statically if built as a subproject

If we're building a dependency as a fallback subproject, we don't want
to be responsible for installing it as a shared library. Anyone wanting
shared libraries should install the dependencies separately.

Ideally we'd do this with MSVC too, but that doesn't currently link
successfully (dbus#549).
