[Boost-users] Static linkage in shared object

Hi all,

Using Linux and g++, is it possible to create a shared object that
statically links to Boost.Thread (1.33.1)?

I'm doing something like:

    g++  -static  -pthread  -lboost_thread-gcc-mt  -shared  -o
<name>.so  <sourcefiles>

to create a shared object (it's a JNI library written in C++).

It compiles fine, but when I use it from Java I always getting an
exception stating that libboost_thread-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so.1.33.1 cannot
be found - but that's intentional, I haven't put /usr/local/lib in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH because I don't want to dynamically link.

Any help greatly appreciated!
