How to Link static

[Cristian Saavedra <cristianpsg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm trying to link static the ssh library, I'm using the following command

g++ -o ssh ssh.cpp -L/usr/lib64/libssh.a -lssh

I also defined #define LIBSSH_STATIC 1 on the source code

However it is still linking the dynamic library
ldd ssh
