Static link of shared library function in gcc

You need the static version of the library to link it.

A shared library is actually an executable in a special format
with entry points specified (and some sticky addressing issues
included). It does not have all the information needed to
link statically.

You can’t statically link a shared library (or dynamically link a static one).

The flag -static will force the linker to use static libraries (.a) instead of shared (.so) ones. But static libraries aren’t always installed by default, so you may have to install the static library yourself.

Another possible approach is to use statifier or Ermine. Both tools take as input a dynamically linked executable and as output create a self-contained executable with all shared libraries embedded.
