[flext] problem with static linking flext on Linux

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Ico,
i can't really remember what i wrote on the fluid~ topic. I guess that  
was years ago and the context might have changed in the meantime.
I think that your case should be easy to resolve.

First, flext libraries libflext-pd_s.a or libflext-pd_t.a are always  
static, while libflext-pd.dylib is the shared version.
Consequently linking with the -lflext-pd_s option will always be static.

In your console printout the libflext-pd_s.a is not found - most  
probably because it is not installed in any of the standard system  
locations (like /usr/local/lib).
Is there any reason why you haven't installed them? This is normally  
done by calling the flext build system with  "sudo sh build.sh pd gcc  
install" from the flext folder.

hope this helps! all the best,
gr~~~
