nxagent static make target broken

[uli42]

cd nx-x11/programs/Xserver
make nxagent_static
make nxagent_static_nolibs

Both targets do not work and fail with various problems.

@Ionic : can you please have a look at my approach?

I'm not really a fan of static builds, for anything but critical system packages they don't make a lot of sense and break more easily than one might think - this is especially true for a full X.Org server copy...

Regarding your commit: I'm concerned that it looks like this would break shared builds. Not installing static libraries may be a way around this, but IIRC Debian ships static libraries as part of -dev packages, which are build requirements of nx-libs.

A static build will make it easier to have a portable version. Also you can easily support ancient archs that only offer ancient xlibs. It also starts quicker and makes ld_library_path obsolete. It would be perfect if we could only link libnx_x11 statically but I failed doing so. Not sure if it can be done at all... Vom Smartphone gesendet.
