'premake doesn't include static libraries

I'm using premake5 and SFML (a graphics library). I want to make a static library so that the user only has to link against it and not its dependencies.
premake5.lua:

workspace "Processing"
    architecture "x64"
    startproject "ProcessingLibStatic"

    configurations {
        "Debug",
        "Release"
    }
    outputdir = "%{cfg.buildcfg}-%{cfg.system}-%{cfg.architecture}"

    project "ProcessingLibStatic"
        kind "StaticLib"
        language "C++"
        cppdialect "C++latest"
        staticruntime "on"

        targetdir ("bin/" .. outputdir .. "/%{prj.name}")
        objdir ("build/" .. outputdir .. "/%{prj.name}")

        -- pchheader ""
        -- pchsource ""

        files {
            "src/**"
        }

        defines {
            "SFML_STATIC"
        }

        includedirs {
            "src",
            "include"
        }

        libdirs {
            "libs/SFML"
        }

        links {
            "sfml-graphics-s",
            "sfml-window-s",
            "sfml-audio-s",
            "sfml-network-s",
            "sfml-system-s",
            "sfml-main",
            "FLAC",
            "freetype",
            "openal32",
            "opengl32",
            "vorbisfile",
            "vorbisenc",
            "vorbis",
            "ogg",
            "winmm",
            "ws2_32",
            "gdi32"
        }

        filter "configurations:Release"
            runtime "Release"
            optimize "on"
        
        filter "configurations:Debug"
            runtime "Debug"
            defines "PROCESSING_DEBUG"
            symbols "on"

As you can see in the links-list, there are a lot of other libraries that should not show up in the premake file of the executable but, when I leave them out, I get an undefined-reference-error while linking.
How can I include the dependencies into my static library? Maybe I can use the --whole-archive flag?
