Not completely static build for me anyway... and it seems that I'm 
missing libXm :-). What else did you want as libraries?

Looking at the sources, at least these are built statically:

[kimmy at x301 mosaic27ck8]$ ls -d lib*
libdtm  libhtmlw  libnet  libnut  libwww2  libXmx

Also libpng, libjpeg and libgif are strangely integrated into the 
codebase... I probably wouldn't even try to separate those...

Hmm. Worked for me for my frankendebian system (part testing, part 
unstable, some experimental and a doze of ubuntu) a few months ago. 
Looks like it doesn't work now since I'm missing Xm.

[fiddling with stuff]

Just downloaded the latest version from Cameron (mosaic27ck9) and it 
worked on my system without any patching. Version k8 required some 
fiddling with readline() to work in Linux but this one worked out of the 
box.

I have these development packages installed:

[kimmy at x301 mosaic27ck9]$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -- -dev | awk '{ 
print $1 }' | xargs echo

autotools-dev dpkg-dev libc-dev-bin libc6-dev libice-dev libjpeg62-dev 
libmotif-dev libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev libossp-sa-dev 
libpng12-dev libpthread-stubs0-dev libsm-dev libstdc++6-4.4-dev 
libx11-dev libxau-dev libxcb1-dev libxdmcp-dev libxext-dev libxmu-dev 
libxpm-dev libxt-dev linux-libc-dev manpages-dev x11proto-core-dev 
x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev x11proto-print-dev x11proto-xext-dev 
xtrans-dev xutils-dev zlib1g-dev

That's probably way more than enough though, I've got devs for other 
software too.
