Yes. Provided that the static library was built as a convenience
library -- i.e. using noinst_LTLIBRARIES primary in automake.

No. Nor does it make sense to be able to really. If you want to
install the static library, then don't create it as a convenience
library, just as a standard `ar/ranlib' archive:
lib_LTLIBRARIES = libnotconvenience.la
libnotconvenience_la_LDFLAGS = -static
Once this is installed, you can link the shared library with the
installed .la file, but the objects won't be added to the shared lib,
the shared.la will record the dependency so that when you later come
to link an application with shared.la, you don't list
libnotconvenience.la on the application link line, libtool will add it
automatically, and the objects will be added (statically) to the
applicatioon.
Ofcourse you will need libtool-1.3b or better for this to work =)O|
Cheers,
Gary.
