Hi Marc, This isn't answering you question, but as a data point I successfully build a static version of my app with: % cd glib % ./configure --enable-static % cd pango % ./configure --enable-static --with-included-modules=basic-x % cd atk % ./configure --enable-static % cd gtk+ % ./configure --enable-static --without-libtiff --disable-modules \ --with-included-loaders=xpm,png on various linuxes. So it does work, on some platforms at least. John _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
