KDevelop 2.1 linker: Static flag does not work

Hello everybody,

I encountered a little problem using KDevelop 2.1 when I tried to link
libriaries statically. At the linker options there is an appropriate
check box which I activated, but this didn't work: The resulting
executable still needed the dynamic libraries.

It works fine doing it by hand: Using the object files generated by
KDevelop and giving
  g++ *.o -static -lsomelib -o somefile
at command line generates a stand alone executable as desired.

The '-static' flag appears in the compile and link messages of
KDevelop; but that system uses the 'libtool' script to link the object
files. I haven't analized it yet, but the problem may be there.

I'm new in using KDevelop, so maybe this is a trivial problem...

Thanks in advance!

Bye,
Erik
