Paolo:
I took the route of building the boost libraries as static builds to use in
the static build of libuhd.
Some more recent versions of boost had some issues but I was successful with
boost version 1.71.0.
Download boost v1.71.0, run bootstrap.sh and invoke sudo ./b2 cxxflags=-fPIC
cflags=-fPIC link=static -a install
which results in a bunch libboost\*.a in /usr/local/lib.
And then for building uhd, I used cmake -DENABLE_STATIC_LIBS=ON
-DENABLE_TESTS=OFF ../
(Had issues building the tests).
You should read the note on using static uhd lib in your own app. Need that
âWl,-whole-archive linker directive.
I am having some issues doing this along with using the static boost libraries
in my app. Will update once I resolve that issue.
Hope that helps.

When linking the static library, you must ensure that the library is loaded in
its entirety, otherwise global objects aren't initialized at load-time and it
will always fail to detect any devices. Also, **all** UHD dependencies for UHD
must be provided unless your linker has other ways of resolving library
dependencies.
With the GNU ld linker (e.g. on Linux platforms), this is done using the
`--whole-archive` switch. Using the GNU C++ compiler, the correct command line
is:
```
g++ your_uhd_app.cpp -Wl,-whole-archive <path to UHD libs>/libuhd.a
-Wl,-no-whole-archive -ldl -lpthread -l<all other libraries>
