How to add dependence to static library in binding.gyp?

I did not find in the documentation how to add static library to binding.gyp?

I’ve successfully compiled my node.js extension with reference to the shared library as follows:

    {
      "targets": [
        {
          "target_name": "myext",
          "sources": [
            "code/main.cpp",
            "code/load.cpp",
            "include/load.h"
          ],
          "include_dirs": [
            "include", "../Library/include"
          ],
          "libraries": [
            "-lmylib", "-L/home/admin/MyLib/Library/binaries/linux/Release"
          ],
          "cflags!": [ "-fno-exceptions" ],
          "cflags": [ "-std=c++11" ],
          "cflags_cc!": [ "-fno-exceptions" ]
        }
      ]
    }

and now want to add static version of the library to the extension to avoid libray loading issues. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Just specify the path the to the static .a file in the “libraries” section:

  "libraries": [ "/usr/local/lib/mylib.a" ]

For making the path relative, just use module_root_dir, which is a variable exposed by node-gyp.

"libraries": ["<(module_root_dir)/......"]

-Wl,-rpath,... did not work for me, causing symbol lookup errors.
