Hi Dmitry,
there is no cygwin build server. Any maintainer build the packages by itself.
To replicate download the source package with setup and
$ cd /usr/src
$ cygport libxml2-2.7.7-1.cygport prep compile
>From the Yaakov's package source build log I see :
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... no
so something is blocking the "theoretical" default configuration
--enable-shared[=PKGS] build shared libraries [default=yes]
--enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=yes]
and looking on configure we see that the default seems no
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Check whether --enable-static was given.
if test "${enable_static+set}" = set; then :
enableval=$enable_static; p=${PACKAGE-default}
case $enableval in
yes) enable_static=yes ;;
no) enable_static=no ;;
*)
enable_static=no
# Look at the argument we got. We use all the common list separators.
lt_save_ifs="$IFS"; IFS="${IFS}$PATH_SEPARATOR,"
for pkg in $enableval; do
IFS="$lt_save_ifs"
if test "X$pkg" = "X$p"; then
enable_static=yes
fi
done
IFS="$lt_save_ifs"
;;
esac
else
enable_static=yes
fi
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
so an enable static should be added to the .cygport.
