no parameters to compile staticly about squeezelite HOT 5 CLOSED

Afraid you would need to edit the code for this as it is designed to 
dynamically load the codec modules it finds, but because of this won't build as 
a single static binary without changes.  The original reason for this was to 
avoid concerns over which codecs are included or not and their licensing - it 
will just use those present on the target machine.

Version 1.3.1 now allows linking at compile time.  If you change the makefile 
then you should be able to use this to link codecs statically.  Set 
OPTS=-DLINKALL to use this feature:

OPTS=-DLINKALL make

One additional question.  In your #2 update you mention "If you change the 
makefile then.....".

What changes are required in the makefile so that the OPTS=DLINKALL parameter 
is used?

It will currently build with dynamic linking at compile time with:

OPTS=-DLINKALL make

If then edit the makefile to change -lmad to the location of libmad.a then it 
should build this statically.  You could add -static to the makefile, but I 
don't believe libsound is normally linked statically.  Depends on what you are 
trying to do?
