How do I tell it to use the static, rather than dynamic, version of a lib?

This should be a FAQ; it has been discussed frequently on this list (and the threads are in the archive).


The short answer is:
  - static libraries are not really supported
  - the linker will always find the .dylib before it finds
    the .a
  - if you have both versions, you have two choices:
    - keep them in different directories and use "-L"
    - specify the .a by full path name without a "-l"

You should check the archive for more detail and discussion.
