Assuming you use you use autotools to build Poco, run ./configure with the --static flag.

$ ./configure --static

See ./configure --help for a full list of flags.

is there a way to get it to build only release (non debug) libraries? – Smut

Setting the DEFAULT_TARGET does not work. So I changed the lines that set the DEFAULT_TARGET as all_shared, all_static to shared_release and static_release in build/rules/global. That seems to work. – Equity
