--enable-static has no effect and does not imply static linking.
Are you sure that you have no dynamic libraries for x264 or
x265 anywhere in the path: Most linkers will prefer them
over static libraries. An alternative is using "/path/to/lib.a" on
the linking line instead of "-L/path/to -llib".
You may want to use "ldd" to test for dynamic libraries.

Do you know what "--disable-everything" does?
It is a debug option, you should never use it for anything
that you distribute, use --disable-all instead (if you need
it), it implies --disable-programs.

Just curious: Does --enable-pic really have an effect?
Which platform is this?
