Re: linking static libs into shared lib with libtool

[Boehne, Robert]

Ron,

This answer should be in the manual if it isn't already.
Libtool supports many platforms that won't allow this
in general, as static libs can be built without pic
flags.  Since you can't always do this, it would be misleading
and more trouble than it is worth to add support into libtool.

Presumably, the static libs you refer to aren't compiled
by your project, because if they were you could make them
convience libs and there wouldn't be any problem.

HTH,

Robert
