Looks reasonable, and thanks for the simple Makefile!

To be honest, I'm not sure I want to support a Makefile in inih itself, just 
because everyone will want slightly different CCFLAGS, or want to use gcc vs 
g++ or something (why g++ in this case, for instance? will it link against 
gcc-compiled code?).

Is there kind of Linux-y Makefile template for simple static libraries?

However, I would consider adding such a Makefile in an extra directory if you 
can modify it for that. Let me know.

Hello, I understand. Well, I could prepare whole GNU autotools machinery for 
you, but I think you would prefer simple approach. Therefore I have prepared 
simple makefile that works in a subdirectory. I recommend to give it an 
extension linux and static in the format you would prefer, so others can add 
more makefiles if they need to.

Many thanks for including this in upstream - makes my life easier. And would 
you mind releasing new version of the library once you merge the change? 
Otherwise I will need to create svn snapshot release which is extra work too ;-)

[lzap@lzapx extra]$ cat Makefile.linux_static 
# 
# Simple makefile to build inih as static library.
#

SRC = ../ini.c
OBJ = $(SRC:.c=.o)
OUT = libinih.a
INCLUDES = -I..
CCFLAGS = -g -O2
CCC = g++
LDFLAGS = -g

.SUFFIXES: .cpp

default: $(OUT)

.cpp.o:
    $(CCC) $(INCLUDES) $(CCFLAGS) $(EXTRACCFLAGS) -c $< -o $@

$(OUT): $(OBJ)
    ar rcs $(OUT) $(OBJ) $(EXTRAARFLAGS)

clean:
    rm -f $(OBJ) $(OUT)

By the way there are EXTRACCFLAGS and EXTRAARFLAGS variables that can be set by 
distributors - I will use them in Fedora (I need to set some Fedora-related 
flags).

Okay, thanks. I committed your Makefile and made a few tweaks to it in r26.

It didn't actually work for me as is without the ".cpp.o" -> ".c.o" change.

Let me know if this works for you or if there are any changes required, and 
then I'll package it up as a release.

Thank you, I will prepare Fedora package (can take few days) and let you know.

Package was created, everything works fine. Thank you:

Okay, great. I've uploaded the release as inih_r26.zip, so you should be good 
to go.
