Linker problem building a monomer app

[sproott]

I'm trying to build a monomer app and I'm getting linker errors:

I think I have the required dependencies (sdl2-dev and glew-dev), but the linker fails anyways. The libraries are actually located in /usr/lib as they should be:

Still, the linker does not find them. Any ideas on what to do?

According to this comment thread on Reddit, it's impossible to statically link X11 and GL, so I'll just resort to a distro-specific dynamic executable. Should I close this for now?

@sproott Nice find, thanks for sharing!

My impression from that thread is that it is not impossible; but it definitely seems to require much more intimate knowledge than I have. So, let's keep the issue open with the hope that someone might provide a way out or the situation changes in future.
