Hi technosaur,

Could you explain briefly how you configured the waf scripts to get Midori to link statically?

[technosaurus]

Just compile your libraries that you want to link statically with --enable-static --disable-shared (or the equivalent) ... otherwise you can sometimes just delete the corresponding .so file (for more info see pet packaging 100 & 101)

However midori uses waf which appears to assume that everything is a shared lib so I added them manually

to find out the proper stuff to link in I should have used pkg-config (but actually I easter egged it based on the output)
pkg-config --cflags --libs webkit (or whatever the name of the *.pc file is)

I entered a bug report:

Really glad to see Midori is not being forgotten. I have tried and tried to build this from scratch but the learning curve is steep for a mere user.
