130995 - Inspector should be separate in the static build

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

In the linux static build (and possibly windows?) the inspector library is 
merged in with the others. Since this is an optional developer tool we need to 
add the makefile magic to keep it a separate shared library so it can be 
optional and not bloat the executable for people who don't want it. See bug 
128507 for additional info.

nominating... if we ship static we won't want the bloat.

Attachment: force inspector lib to be shared lib

I think this should do it.  With this change, libinspector.so gets build.
