Thanks Bill!

By the way is it true that Cmake is adopted by the KDE development team? That is good news!

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.

The other option is to add -static to the link flags. For example when building cmake for sunos we do this:CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING=-Bstatic
