enable-static does not work

[sangorrin]

Context

• Version of iperf3: latest commit
• Hardware: any
• Operating system (and distribution, if any): any
• Other relevant information (for example, non-default compilers,
  libraries, cross-compiling, etc.): native and cross-compiling

Bug Report

• Expected Behavior
  ./configure --enable-static should produce a static iperf3 binary
• Actual Behavior
  It produces a dynamic binary
• Steps to Reproduce
  ./configure --enable-static
  make
  ldd ./src/.libs/iperf3
• Possible Solution
  LDFLAGS=-static ./configure
  make
  This works fine, but I think enable-static should work.
• Possible Solution
  Use cmake instead of autotools. It is easier and much cleaner.

You need to do ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared.

I know this is suboptimal but that's the way autotools works.

Thank you, I didn't know that.

@bmah888 I try --enable-static --disable-shared this option, but still not work, file iperf3 get ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24
