Honestly, this is actually up to the Okular devs to rectify. IIRC this is also what \
the Calligra devs did with the one test app that did this.  I think that either you \
patch out the 2 (?) tests, or you add a line that creates a proper shared library \
from the same files as the plugin, and link the test apps against that.

FYI: the same issue will (very likely) occur when building on MS Windows. IIRC \
plugins are "more different" from shared libraries there than they are on OS X. In \
fact, OS X allows to use shared libraries as plugins just as Linux does, but has an \
additional type ("bundle") which is meant to be used as a loadable module. The \
difference is in symbol visibility; bundles can have access to all symbols from a \
designated "bundle loader" (= host app) and apparently lack information required by \
the link editor (ld).
