Statically linking gtk

["Joe Van Dyk" <joevandyk gmail com>]

Hi,

I have a gtkmm project that I'd like to statically link.  But I'm
running into difficulties.  I'm using Gtk and Gtkmm 2.4.

Here's a sample.  I've heard Gtk is hard to statically link?  Why is that?

g++ -o radar radar.cc \
`pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags` \
