I am trying to compile a static version of gvim on a machine running a combination of Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze and Wheezy.

I installed all the dependencies using
root@hogwarts:~# apt-get build-dep vim-gnome

I downloaded the vim-7.3.tar.bz2 from ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.3.tar.bz2 and untarred the file. I configured it with

rajulocal@hogwarts:~/compile_static_gvim_native/vim73$ LDFLAGS="-static" ./configure --with-features=huge --enable-gui=gnome2 2>&1 | tee ../configure_trial2_20130728.log

The log file (attached below) shows that the configure script does not pick up the GUI stuff.

checking for X... no
checking if X11 header files can be found... yes
checking --enable-gui argument... no GUI support

digging into the vim73/src/auto/config.log (attached) shows

However, the above gcc command succeeds if "-static" is removed from the command line. But then I would not be able to build a statically linked binary.

So for example, the following succeeds
gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lX11 -lnsl  -lselinux

while
gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -I/usr/local/include -static -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lX11 -lnsl  -lselinux

fails.

So my question is how does one build a statically linked  gvim?
