I am trying to make static builds of MLT.
This is for writing compilation guidelines for packagers.
Can you help me compile?

Re: MLT static builds: Help needed
While this may fix a build against a static installation of ffmpeg in /usr, it clearly is not advisable to hardcode ffmpeg lib paths.
Rather, some option should be passed to mlt, that makes it do "-static" on the linker line.

Re: MLT static builds: Help needed
Of course the /usr path is only here for an example.
The -static flags does nothing.
Thanks Christian, it compiles fine. libmltavformat is linked staticly.
Then I test using inigo:
inigo out.ogv
mlt_repository.c, mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib/mlt/libmltavformat.so
It seems more tricky ... compiling staticly may have side effects.
For the moment, I am about to give up this experience, until someone comes up with a clean solution.
