You can just use pkg-config --static all the time, unless ( disable_static && ( host_os == Linux || host_os == Solaris ) ) Works wonders! :-) Once Libtool has been fixed to allow specifying separate dependencies for static and shared libs (it might have a special API for pkg-config at that point), this can be revisited. >> It seems that LT_INIT has been executed, the shell environment >> variables enable_shared and enable_static are set to 'yes' if shared >> and/or static libraries will be built.

This is a question you might need to ask on the pkg-config list. Cheers, Ralf
