*.a is always a static library, AFAIK.  But that was not the point of
Ralf's answer.

Again, I'm repeating part of Ralf's answer, in case there awas a
misunderstanding: if you start using libtool, it's best to use it for
all libraries, including the static one.  All libtool libraries have
the same extension: *.la.

So please drop the line:

> lib_LIBRARIES = libopendbx.a

because the libtool library should contain both static and dynamic
library inside.  See the libtool manual for details.

Have a nice day,
