The build scripts in curl (autotools, cmake and others) are primarily done to
work with shared/dynamic third party dependencies. When linking with shared
libraries, the depedency "chain" is handled automatically by the library
loader - on all modern systems.
If you instead link with a static library, we need to provide all the
dependency libraries already at the link command line.
Figuring out all the dependency libraries for a given library is hard, as it
might also involve figuring out the dependencies of the dependencies and they
may vary between platforms and even change between versions.
When using static dependencies, the build scripts will mostly assume that
you, the user, will provide all the necessary additional dependency libraries
as additional arguments in the build. With configure, by setting LIBS/LDFLAGS
on the command line.
We welcome help to improve curl's ability to link with static libraries, but
it is likely a task that we can never fully support.
