Add a static library to a shared library

[Jens Krüger]

Hi,

How can I add a static library to a shared library.
I try to build a shared library what should contain a static library.

Makefile.am:

libshared_la_LIBADD = -lmystatic
 
lib_LTLIBRARIES = libshared.la

It works fine but a get a warning:
                 
*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -lmystatic.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.
 
*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -lmystatic.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a

*** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be

*** or is declared to -dlopen it.                                               
                                                                                

I think there is no problem if I always use libtool for binding programs. But
if I try to bind a program without libtool, I think there is a problem, because 
I have to know what libraries I hat to add to bind. In the shared library is no 
information (I saw in the gcc call no information like -lmystatic, it seems to
be removed by libtool), it is only in the libtool library. 

Thanks
Jens
