I don't know how all this autoconf machinery works, but if I want to compile flac.exe that requires only system libraries (kernel32.dll and msvcrt.dll) then I simply use the following command: ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared && make It worked earlier, and it works now with the current git sources. In this case libFLAC.la contains the following lines: # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='' # Names of this library. library_names='' # The name of the static archive. old_library='libFLAC.a' When ./configure is called without arguments, these lines contain: # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='libFLAC-8.dll' # Names of this library. library_names='libFLAC.dll.a' # The name of the static archive. old_library='' So libFLAC.la can point either to dynamic or to static library. ********* Also: your patch adds the following lines to several Makefile.am files: if OS_IS_WINDOWS win_utf8_lib = $(top_builddir)/src/share/win_utf8_io/libwin_utf8_io.la endif zzz_LDADD = ... $(win_utf8_lib) ... On my system win_utf8_io is always a static library and is statically linked to the libFLAC library, so it's not necessary to explicitly link flac.exe with libwin_utf8_io.la. _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
