But the link in the PDF document is only useful to open the ld.pdf file, I'm not successful in getting the link to take me further than that no matter how I feebly try to put it. Could you report this bit to bug-texinfo, please? It turned out to be a problem with the ld.pdf file. With a better ld.pdf I get to the same spot as with html (i.e. the start of the Command Line Options section). Cheers, Peter

Thanks for the report and patch. What does -all-dynamic bring you that either of the following won't? Hello, thank you for the feedback. - configure with --disable-static, The package also builds normal libraries that should be build both as static and dynamic, so this option can unfortunately not be used. - add --tag=disable-static to AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS or libfoo_la_LIBTOOLFLAGS. At least with libtool 1.5.26 this does not appear to have any effect, a static library still gets built and installed. Regards, Karl-Andre' Skevik Inferno Nettverk A/S

OK. - add --tag=disable-static to AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS or libfoo_la_LIBTOOLFLAGS. At least with libtool 1.5.26 this does not appear to have any effect, a static library still gets built and installed. Libtool 1.5.26 is old, and the 1.5 branch not maintained any more. We have arrived at 2.4, please consider updating. That said, I *think* that this should have worked with 1.5.x already; but you need Automake = 1.10 for support of the *_LIBTOOLFLAGS special variables. I'm guessing that you have an older Automake, because the following minimal example gets me a libfoo that is not built statically. Please report whether it does for you, and if you get a static libfoo.a, please try to modify the example so it exposes the failure in your setup.
