This libChameleon.a Library file is located in the lib directory.

Chameleon is distributed with a static library called libChameleon.a for each Unix flavor. C++ applications using Chameleon must be statically linked to this library. Dynamic linking to the runtime library is not supported.

All the libraries that Chameleon depends on, like Python and the expat XML parser, are statically linked into this library. The feedback from customers is that this approach works well since there are minimal problems with dependencies when Chameleon applications are deployed on Unix other than the external python library files and some environmental variables which need to be set up.
