kiss -- why compiled libs for linux?

[bakercp]

@arturoc I'm trying to figure out why the linux versions of the kiss libs need to be compiled and if they do, then how. I was going off of the arm6vl makefile currently in the repo, but I'm still a bit confused why we can't just use it f from source.

[arturoc]

yes, we could do this now, we usually compiled even the simplest libraries because all of OF was compiled with every project, when we changed to a compiled library we kept libraries as they were, but yes it might be much easier to have kiss, rtaudio, tess2 and anything else that it's just a couple of files as source.

we could use the same standard as with addons were a src folder inside a library means that it needs to be compiled with the OF core

for the makefiles it should be pretty straight forward

👍 to more source libraries. fewer binaries, yay!

I think this was only compiled for linux in the end, rest from src.
