Thanks for reporting this, we will need to investigate and run some tests with this.

It looks like it is still not working. Feel free to submit a PR that would make this work with a static build.

this commit fixes the problem! google/brotli@09b0992
i'll open a pr in ImageMagick/brotli

[dlemstra]

I asked if we can get a new brotli release. And I had to close that PR because we don't need those patches for the Windows build.

[landfillbaby]

once that next brotli release is out, the next problem with libjxl is #3887

[dlemstra]

I suspect that I already fixed that issue (see my remark in that linked issue).

[dlemstra]

Would you be willing to open an issue here: https://github.com/google/brotli to request the new release? They asked me to do that but I suspect you can explain better why this fixes the static linking. I am not a pkgconfig expert 😁

[landfillbaby]

oh i forgot to mention, i opened google/brotli#917

[landfillbaby]

i noticed you allow this with 7.1.0-10 so i'll close it
