Description

When creating projects that target PaaS offerings in Azure such as Service Fabric or Classic Worker Roles, it is more desirable to have a version of ChakraCore that can be statically linked. In addition it would be nice if the static library also statically linked its dependencies such as the MSVC runtime. This prevents users from having to create VM Extensions that deploy these dependencies.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing build system (likely CMake) and identify where to add a new target for a static library. Check for any existing static library configurations and understand how dependencies are linked.
