But creating shared libraries from non-PIC objects is rather ugly and not portable. > But is there a way to control the build to create the static libraries > from PIC objects? Not directly. You can create a convenience archive, which will contain PIC objects. But that archive is not supposed to be installed anywhere. If you do install it (manually), you will confuse Libtool's dependency logic. I guess you could create an installable static library from PIC objects by using --tag=disable-static during compilation, and -static during linking. Also quite hacky because it uses undocumented behavior. This question has more to do with Libtool functionality than with Automake, by the way. Cheers, Ralf
