How to build static library using RAD Studio 2010?

I have been confused by C++ Builder 2010 assuming my library is dynamic. I did not find any options or help in documents regarding what I need to change in the project to build stat开发者_如何学编程ic library.

Now I produce DLL, but I need to produce LIB, so I can just link it to the project and forgot about DLL. BTW it produces LIB, but for dynamic linkage only.

Did you tried Project Props -> Config properties -> Config Type -> Static library (.lib) ?

I know this is old but AFAIK Delphi 2010 doesn't support .bpi (static) files. It was removed at some point. This has been a ballache for us too, as we have a large project that we want to break down into units and for various reasons dynamic libraries won't cut it.

You have to choose "Static Library" when you create the project. You can't convert it once the project already exists. This will create a statically linked library. It should be easy to add your existing source files to the new project and just build.
