Building static

Hi, all,

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.

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?

Sounds complex, but the aim is simple. Thanks for any ideas.

Regards,

Justin
