flac dev - Apr 2013 - ogg not statically linked

Hi all,

I was running some tests cross-compiling and natively compiling for 
windows with mingw and found something strange: when I try to built flac 
statically linked and libogg is available as a dll, flac will use the 
dll instead of linking statically. If I built libogg with 
--disable-shared, flac will use the static library. This is the case for 
building natively as well as when cross-compiling. I've verified this 
with the dependency walker.

This happened with current git (2de567f) I don't know whether this is a 
bug or a feature, but I thought I should report this anyway.

Aside from the thing mentioned above, all tests passed for both static 
as well as shared built on Windows with mingw32.

libtool might prefer dynamic libraries over static ones if both are  
available, but you can force it to create a static executable via  
"-all-static":
   make LDFLAGS="-all-static"
