I do this for the OS X build.
Just change the makefile to use the .a files of the libs instead of the .dylib files (and replace the sdl stuff with the output of "sdl-config --static (or --static-libs)).
You should be able to do it differently on linux by passing -static somewhere, but apple prevents that on OS X, so I can only give you the manual approach.
My patch to automate this for my build system (just to give you an idea, don't copy paste this):

OK, here is what I've tried

defaults

1ALSA_LIBS =  -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread
2
3LIBS = -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lSDL -lGL -lpng -lz -lpcap -lSDL_net -lX11 -lfluidsynth
4
5SDL_LIBS = -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lSDL

I changed these to

1ALSA_LIBS =  -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libasound.a -lm -ldl /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.a
2
3LIBS = -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libasound.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDLmain.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL_net.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcap.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfluidsynth.a -lSDL -lGL -lpng -lz -lpcap -lSDL_net -lX11 -lfluidsynth
4
5SDL_LIBS = -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDLmain.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL_net.a -lSDL

but these don't seem to work,

so what am I doing wrong?

everything that is -lfoo is a dynamic link, so you didn't replace those but added the static link
Example: -lfluidsynth needs to be *replaced* by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfluidsynth.a
(though I'd try first with a lockstock Dosbox without any patch, like the fluidsynth one)

Also check the out pout of "sdl-config --libs" and replace that in the makefile with the output of sdl-config --static-libs

like this?

1ALSA_LIBS =   /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libasound.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.a
2
3LIBS = /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libasound.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDLmain.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL_net.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcap.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfluidsynth.a

Yes, like this but odd that it only gives the dynamic linking. I'm out, I have no further help on this it seems. Sorry.

OK thanks for trying, I appreciate it

If anyone else is willing to help me with this,
I've uploaded the terminal output from my attempted compile here - https://ufile.io/bbe57
i though it'd be too large to post directly on these forums

any ideas?
