If that's true, I'd check out the source for ApolloIM, if it's
available; it was a legitimately OSS iPhone libpurple-based IM client
in the pre-SDK days. Dunno if it's still around as such, though.

Adium used to build libpurple statically, but moved away from that
to building dynamically. What was the reason for this change?
What sort of issues were you having with building statically?
I only need the yahoo protocol and the ssl plugins for my project;
would this simplify the issues you had?
We built statically by creating an xcode project with all the files
needed, along with all the dependencies as targets linked
statically. The config.h file for each target was generated once,
copied in, and then modified to have appropriate platform-specific
#ifdef sections (PPC vs. Intel).
We moved away from this because while it worked fine once it
worked, it fell like a house of wet cards when trying to upgrade
any dependency or libpurple itself, as libraries expect their
autoconfigure to work, and we were literally short-circuiting it.
There might be a better way than building statically - what are you
trying to accomplish?
Cheers,
Evan
