Build C project with statically linked libpng library

Job ID: 37186222

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

The project at https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/tree/master depends on the libpng library.

The default build process of this project on Ubuntu 20 links this library dynamically.

I would like to:
[ ] get the build process to link the libpng library statically
[ ] be able to both determine and select a given version of libpng library
[ ] be able to precisely determine the compiled file or files of the project that are statically linked the libpng library
[ ] (optional) get the instructions for Windows 10, as well
