The workaround I'm using is removing showimage from the Makefile

I'm seeing this in SDL_image's showimage as well as in my own projects...I think I've managed to reduce the problem to the sdl2-config --libs line, that gives me:

-L/Users/gabo/ignifuga/dist/osx32/lib /Users/gabo/ignifuga/dist/osx32/lib/libSDL2.a -lm -liconv -Wl,-framework,OpenGL -Wl,-framework,ForceFeedback -lobjc -Wl,-framework,Cocoa -Wl,-framework,Carbon -Wl,-framework,IOKit -Wl,-framework,CoreAudio -Wl,-framework,AudioToolbox -Wl,-framework,AudioUnit

Note that instead of -lSDL2 it's giving out the full path without -l, so it will be statically linked!

This in turns makes the static library generation for SDL_ttf (and SDL_image) look something like:

libtool: link: ar cru .libs/libSDL2_ttf.a /Users/gabo/ignifuga/dist/osx32/lib/libSDL2.a SDL_ttf.o

So, instead of only archiving SDL_ttf.o it's trying to archive libSDL2.a as well...THIS is the actual problem...removing libSDL2.a by hand from the Makefile solves the issue...

However, if I apply the fix in sdl2-config (changing /Users/gabo/ignifuga/dist/osx32/lib/libSDL2.a by -lSDL2), the configure script for SDL_image halts at "checking for SDL - version >= 2.0.0..."

Fix for sdl2-config line for static libs under OSX

Sorry for the brain fart yesterday, it turns out that sleeping on a problem is always a good idea. Anyway, replacing the whole library path for -lSDL2 actually solves the problem, so this patch should solve the issue. SDL_ttf and SDL_image compile statically without issue now.

I don't think we need that hack anymore, thanks!
