Hi there,

I have aproject where I would like to use AC_DISABLE_SHARED so that not building shared libraries is the default. Of course, this is ideal for development and debugging but there is a problem: the `make check' target in one of the project's subdirectories requires building a shared library (because a particular test can only be done and does only make sense with a shared library).

Can I avoid building that shared library "by hand" (with all the consequent portability problems) and use libtool instead? If so, how can I do it? Thanks a lot

Roberto

P.S.

In the configured libtool script (version 1.4.x and today's CVS version) that is put in the build directory it seems that the `build_libtool_libs' variable is assigned to `no' and never changed again. Perhaps an option like `--shared' should be added to that script to override the default?
