+It's also possible to depend on static libraries explicitely:
+
+ DEPEND[foo]=libsomething.a
+ DEPEND[libbar]=libsomethingelse.a
+
+This should be rarely used, and care should be taken to make sure it's
+only used when supported. For example, native Windows build doesn't
+support build static libraries and DLLs at the same time, so using
+static libraries on Windows can only be done when configured

For some libraries, we maintain files with public symbols and their
slot in a transfer vector (important on some platforms). It can be
declared like this:
ENGINES_NO_INST=ossltest
SOURCE[ossltest]=e_ossltest.c
- DEPEND[ossltest]=../libcrypto
+ DEPEND[ossltest]=../libcrypto.a
INCLUDE[ossltest]=../include
This is the build.info file in 'engines/', telling us that two engines
'engines/e_ossltest.c' and that the include directory 'include/' may
be used when building anything that will be part of these engines.
Also, both engines depend on the library 'libcrypto' to function
-properly. Finally, only dasync is being installed, as ossltest is
-only for internal testing.

When Configure digests these build.info files, the accumulated
information comes down to this:
ENGINES_NO_INST=engines/ossltest

- DEPEND[engines/ossltest]=libcrypto
