automake / libtool question - static libs

Hi,

I am using automake/autoconf/libtool and it works fine
generating
shared libs, etc.  However, I need to make static libs now
and I can't
see how to tell libtool to do so.  I know I can pass -static
but I am
not using libtool directly, I am using it via automake.

My project has one subdir with code that is built into a
shared
library, and another subdir contains code that builds into
an
executable that uses that library.  Normally it works fine
with shared
libs, but I now want the build the library as a normal
static lib and
have the executable use that.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try 
  lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
  libfoo_la_LDFLAGS = -static
