- Are you sure you really need the static (.a) libraries? All X11R6
- distributions so far only come with shared libraries (at least for the
- large libraries - libX11, libXt, libXaw etc..). Do you have specific
- reasons for wanting to link against the static libraries? (Ok, debugging
- X11 might be a reason, but I think that's not what you want to do).

-
- Not to my knowledge. If you really need them, you'll have to compile them
- yourself (something like "#define ForceNormalLib YES" in
- .../config/lnxLib.rules). Linking against static libraries will
- create huge binaries.
-
- I guess it's rather a problem of incorrect compiler invocation.
