+Static Linking
+--------------
+
+See ( http://repo.or.cz/d2df-binlib.git ) repo for prebuild dynamic and static libraries.
+
+It is now possible to link windoze LibJIT and ENet as static libs.
+
+First, you need to clone ( http://repo.or.cz/d2df-binlib.git ) (repo with prebuilt windoze libs).
+Then, you can use:
+  -dLIBJIT_WINDOZE_STATIC  -- static LibJIT
+  -dLIBENET_WINDOZE_STATIC -- static ENet
+
+Don't forget to specify lib*.a location with -Fi<...>
+
+I (ketmar) used mingw-gcc 7.1.0 to build static libs; some other .a libs were taken directly from mingw.
+building libs is easy: just fire msys, install all dependencies, and do:
+
+  ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared && make
+
+This should produce working .a library suitable for static linking.
