How can I set a subproject to build as a static library by default

[Steven Stewart-Gallus]

I know I can use LT_INIT([static]) to build libraries in my project statically
(by default) but how can I make subprojects build statically?

Pass --disable-shared to AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.

There is no word in the documentation how to pass special flags to an
sub-configure with the help of AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS. What do I miss?

use project_CFLAGS="-Wl,-no_shared" and project_LDFLAGS="-static -no_shared"

Gary, like Bert says there isn't a way to pass flags to
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.

no_shared"

Victor, I don't believe that works with external subprojects such a
portability libraries that I have no control over (and do not wish to
patch).
