Issue compiling libheif statically

[efleurant]

Tried to pass the -static flag to no avail. Any tips on how to build this library statically?

...

Also it seems to force the -shared flag

You don't provide enough information but to get a static lib you should use:

cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF ..

#354 should hopefully fix any remaining problems building libheif as a static library for both cmake and autotools.

Seems to fix the problem, thanks
