Sorry, I said the wrong thing in a previous email. I meant the linker
-static flag so: LDFLAGS="-Wl,-static".

Another way you can do this is use --disable-shared when configuring
portaudio, speex, theora, and ogg. Then when iaxclient links against
those libraries, only the static (.a) version will be available.

The value of maintaining project files for linux IDEs is not clear to
me. The goal of having something like that in the source tree would be
to make it easier for developers. I doubt many people in Linux land
feel impeded from contributing to iaxclient due to lack of IDE
support.

I know some people dig kscope and kdevelop. I have to believe any
Linux-oriented IDE worth its salt has the ability to piggyback on an
autotool build system.
