Instructions for creating * a library from a given source tree can be found in the AVR-GCC user manual included in the WinAVR install * /Docs/ directory. * * However, building the library is <b>not recommended</b>, as the static (compile-time) options will be * unable to be changed without a recompilation of the LUFA code. Therefore, if the library is to be built * from the LUFA source, it should be made to be application-specific and compiled with the static options * that are required for each project (which should be recorded along with the library). * * Normal library use has the library components compiled in at the same point as the application code, as * demonstrated in the library demos and applications. This is the preferred method, as the library is recompiled * each time to ensure that all static options for a particular application are applied. */
