[ENet-discuss] static linking warning

[ingmar wirths]

Thanks Nuno, that brought me on the right track. The compiler seems the
prefer the dynamic library, when in doubt. I copied libenet.a to another
directory and gave that to the compiler, and i omited the -static switch.
Now everything works just fine.
