Force static linking?

[Max Horn]

Can I somehow force libtool to use the static version of an 
(installed) library instead of the shared library? The library in 
question is built using libtool, (so the .la file is installed along 
with it).

I need to do this for a game, I want to hardlink SDL 
(http://libsdl.org) since otherwise all users have to install SDL, 
but I'd rather avoid this.

I tried using the -all-static and -static flags as from 
http://www.gnu.org/manual/libtool-1.4.2/html_node/libtool_17.html, 
but that hadn't any effect (but the projects is still using libtool 
1.3.5, it is not yet working with 1.4.2).

My system is Mac OS X; maybe this feature is just not (yet?) 
implemented there? Or maybe I just am missing the corrcet option. :)


Thanks,

Max
