  * '''--disable-shared''': If you want '''only static libraries''' to be compiled and no shared objects or DLLs, you should specify this option.

Since those are usually provided under the GPL license, which has rather strong conditions, the configuration scripts do not check for the availability of those packages by default.

(If such a value consists of more than one word, you need to enclose it in quotation marks.) For example:
