It may even be impossible, as some components may not provide a static version
of their libraries. One case that comes to mind is that of the X Window
libraries: some OSes deliberately do not provide a static version of one or
more of the (system) libraries involved. And I can imagine that the same goes
for a component like Qt.
On Windows I have to struggle with runtime libraries required by the various
compilers. It makes it necessary to supply so-called redistributable libraries
for them, as each compiler version (of the same vendor) has its own version of
the runtime libraries. On the target system they have to be installed or be
present somehow.
