static build

[Nicholas Kidd <kidd cs wisc edu>]

Hello-

I am trying to build gtk+ as a static library.  I am running RedHat
7.2 with gcc 2.95.3 on a Pentium 4.  Pango, atk, and glib
all built fine like so:

~> configure --prefix=/scratch/cforlibs/$CURGCC --disable-shared --enable-static
~> make && make install

Then i tried to do the same with gtk+.  That failed and I submitted it
as a bug (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104674), however,
it apparently is not a bug and I am now contacting this list.  To
solve the first problem, I had to add --with-included-loaders and
compile a static lib of libpng.  Now what i have is as follows:

/configure \
    --prefix=/scratch/cforlibs/$CURGCC \
    --enable-static \
    --disable-shared \
    --disable-modules \
    --with-included-loaders=png

However, make fails with this error (repeated for each im module):

<--- SNIP --->

The entire make output can be found at :

I have checked the symlinks and permissions and they all seem fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
