Static link failure

[KyleMayes]

Working on a solution.

Tip: in bindgen, replace the clang-sys version by a path to a local checkout of clang-sys. You can then easily test changes in clang-sys. It would be better to have a dummy test bin, though.

[Yamakaky]

In fact no, you can simply run cargo test --features static.

[KyleMayes]

Yeah, that's what I thought.
I'm closer to a solution now, static linking is working with 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 on Linux.

[KyleMayes]

I'm stumped, it seems the 3.8 releases neglected to include libclang.a. We may need to disallow static linking in this case. I'm emailing the clang mailing lists to see what this is about.

[Yamakaky]

ahah ^^

OK, static linking works on Linux and OS X for clang < 3.8.

I added a LLVM_CONFIG_PATH environment variable for setting the path to an llvm-config executable. This is necessary because llvm-config --libs returns different lists of libraries depending on the version of LLVM llvm-config was compiled for. This means you need to set this to test static linking so you don't get linking errors (Linux, OS X).

cool!
