Hi Philip,

Thanks for the info. The problem is that wx-config outputs a whole lot of flags including the /usr/lib .. /usr/lib contains a lot of libs I need so I think I will have to make shortcuts to them all ..

But, it sounds doable! Thanks!

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for your reply. I want to statically link as much libs as
    possible (especially wxGTK2.6.3) .. The reason is that my app needs to
    distributed. When I have wxGTK2.6.1 installed in /usr/lib it always
    takes those instead of my own absolute path.

    I do not really mind if it is portable or not, I just want GCC to take
    the proper libraries. And I feel limited now because I do have wxGTK
    2.6.1 installed as RPM (in /usr/lib) because it is needed by some apps,
    but I cannot even link against my own built wx-libs (located somewhere
    else) because GCC always takes the .so versions in /usr/lib. To me that
    sounds rather limiting.


Here is a trick I learned. Just make a directory, for example /usr/lib/static, and create symbolic links in there that point to the libraries you want to link statically.

Then all you need is a LINK_DIRECTORIES( /usr/lib/static ), and thenit will pick those static libraries first.
