I have just been grabbing the libcurl.a file after running 'make
install'. I added
that to my XCode project and use '-lcurl'. Like I said, everything
built fine, it
just still looks to the system for other .dylibs. What all do I need to
add to my
project in order to make everything static? I had assumed that the
c-ares library
got encapsulated in the libcurl.a, but I must be wrong.

Another issue I have is that I need both ppc and i386 support. I've
been using lipo
to make common libs from different builds.

Thanks again.

Zach

Thanks!

You should be able to simply link your application with the output of
`curl-config --static-libs` to link it statically to libcurl. Is that
what
you're doing?
