Hi . I need a example for compiling a static library with Gtk3 libraries
together .



Beware that releasing such a static library in binary form (without its source code) is probably a violation of the LGPL license. Read carefully the LGPL2.1 license of GTK. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.en.html

Perhaps contact your lawyer and ask him to explain you that license.

(and that explains why you won't have many examples of statically linking GTK3; it is useless to do so, and in some cases might be a license violation).

Take into account the freedom of the user of your binary program. He should be allowed to upgrade, following the LGPL license, his version of GTK3 inside your product. The easy way to ensure freedom is to dynamically link your product with the libgtk*.so

Cheers
