I would point at an old post of mine: http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2009/09/28/removing-la-files-for-dum-w-uncertain-people just to give an idea of where you can safely drop static-libs altogether. Or to the most recent one on the topic: http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2011/08/29/useless-flag-static-libs that ignores one obvious case (the one where you have NO headers in either the package or linked packages — the latter is the case for most X11 libs nowadays). And make sure you check against the version of the package you're adding static-libs to, before saying that it does install headers (or the other way around). -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
