I need to have libpurple.a in order to load this library via a FFI. Any help on how I can get this file, along with any other .a required?

I'm trying to use node-ffi (https://github.com/rbranson/node-ffi) to create JS bindings for libpurple, apparently node-ffi looks for the static library. I compiled from source using the --enable-static option and it generated the .a and node-ffi did load it. After that I tried modifying the Portfile for pidgin to include --enable-static, but it didn't generated the .a . I definitely would like to use the macports' version instead of the one I built.
Any ideas?

pidgin provides the dynamic library libpurple.dylib. You are certain you really need the static library libpurple.a? On Mac OS X, it is usual to use dynamic libraries.
