To do the static build I'm just setting OCIO_BUILD_SHARED to OFF and OCIO_BUILD_STATIC to ON. libOpenColorIO.a is present in build/src/core, but isn't getting found, which is strange as I thought CMake was supposed to handle all that stuff.

I'm also a little bit worried by this message:

Linking CXX static library libtinyxml.a
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: file: libtinyxml.a(tinystr.cpp.o) has no symbols
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: file: libtinyxml.a(tinystr.cpp.o) has no symbols
[100%] Built target tinyxml

If I manually add libOpenColorIO.a's path to the environment using link_directories() then it gets found, but then I get a stream of missing symbols:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

(this carries on for what must be every single symbol in the library)

Any ideas?
