[Libcdio-devel] --enable-shared and --disable-static --with-versioned-libs problem

[R. Bernstein]

Gabor Z. Papp reports a problem in building vcdimager (but I think
there is a corresponding problem in libcdio); the options
--enable-shared and --disable-static were used together and it seems
to cause a problem when --with-versioned-libs (the default) is also in
effect.

I think is happening that objects get created in lib/.libs (of
vcdimager) but not in lib/ as happens for the static
compilations. This then causes the code for creating libvcdinfo to
fail since it seems to be looking in lib/ for the objects. 

Here is part of the output Papp's from "make":

One way to address this might be to force --disable-versioned-libs
when --disable-static is given. Another possibility is to look in
.libs here. Any suggestions or comments?
