How to build this project for static linking

[odemiral]

Hi,

I’ve been trying to link your library statically to my project without any luck, I was able to compile your library as a static library on mac (.a) and I understand that I need to manually add the include headers in order to use the static library, however your headers inside “include/" folder are all dependent on your headers from other modules such as CppCommon (like time/time.h) If I include just the include folder (like you suggested on this issue) then they won't compile since they’re all relying on your cppcommon library.

If I go down the path of including literally every header path to the project then, I suppose that might work but then again you have multiple files with same name (like version.h, memory.inl, etc) which will cause lots of headache.

I was wondering if there's a better way here that I'm not seeing? I'm not well versed in cmake but I made modifications to your CMakeList.txt to a point where I can build your library as a .framework for OSX and iOS (with Headers) but if you could shed some light on dealing with headers from other modules then I'd love to finish what I started and open a PR.
