oscchief makefile cannot find liblo

~/Downloads/oscchief > make
gcc `pkg-config --static --cflags liblo` -Wextra -Wall -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wno-unused-parameter -std=gnu99 -ggdb -Wno-unused-function -Bstatic -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/liblo.a -lpthread  -o oscchief main.c
Package liblo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `liblo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'liblo' found
clang: error: no such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/liblo.a'
make: *** [oscchief] Error 1

What I have in my /usr/local/lib/liblo.a:

/usr/local/lib > ls | grep liblo
liblo.7.dylib
liblo.dylib
liblo.la
liblog-62abc69f.dylib
/usr/local/lib >

You need to install PKG_CONFIG.
Also, when compiling liblo you need to compile the static libs using:
./configure --enable-static

I was looking to link liblo dynamically, and it seems you can do that by editing the Makefile:

LDLIBS=-L/usr/local/lib -llo -lpthread

Is there any reason to prefer static linking?

Is there any reason to prefer static linking?
Yeah, means you can give your app to someone else without having to supply the library as well and requiring them to install the library in the right place.
