Using openCV staticly on Snow Leoaprd

Question

I am using snow leopard and I am trying to build my app with static libraries...

I was able to build opencv with static libraries by changing build_shared_libs to "no"

This generated a bunch of .a files (including pch_dephelp.a" files)

First off, I don't know what pch_dephelp.a files are (e.g. libcv_pch_dephelp.a)

When I tried to compile my program it didn't link for many many reasons. The first one listed was about TIFF functions, so I tried including the libtiff library in my list of libraries. This didn't work because it said libtiff was off a different architecture.

I tried changing the arch on opencv but was never able to get it to compile correctly with any other changes.

UPDATE: Using OpenCV 2.0 with g++-4.0

Any thoughts at all??? Thanks!
