Re: Building static

I want to build an app that is dependent only on the dylibs that "come with" Mac OS X, so Joe Random can just download this thing and run it on his system without having to worry about finding/building the other libraries that it (the app) uses.

A noble pursuit. =)

I have this building fine, but for one library. That library (gmp) comes in both .dylib and .a forms. How can I force it to use the .a version? As it stands, the app seems to have a predilection for the .dylib. Just to make life more interesting, one of the other (static) libraries depends on gmp. Does this mean I have to rebuild that library first, in some different way than I've done so far?

I assume you're linking with the -lgmp flag. I'm not sure how to force -l to use the static library, however, specifying an absolute path to the static library works. So try /path/to/libgmp.a instead of -lgmp. I doubt you'll need to rebuild the first library.
