Need libGLU.a

[snikkith]

Hi there,
sorry if I behave like an idiot, then it is due to the fact that I have never used arch-linux before yesterday.

My Problem:
I need libGLU.a.
What I do have after installing mesa, freeglut and a bunch of other stuff, is libGLU.so.
How can I get libGLU.a?

I somehow have to get mesa to build a static library as well, right?
How do I do that?

Background:
I have to install some badly written software provided by my university, that requires libGLU.a in its CMakeLists somewhere.


Thanks in advance,
Snikkith

Hope it will help to get you up and running.
