example:

mpeglib/lib/libmpeg.so

is compiled but not installed.

if you now build artplug.so you ran automake/libtool etc..
If its an _executable_
then you can do it in libtool. (libtool handles this)
But if you build a library libtool cannot handle it. (yet)
I dont know where the problem is, but in the automake TODO list
this is listed for automake 1.4.
But maybe we can find a (not elegant) solution.

It worked some time ago on solaris, mpegvideo and mp3.
But I have not tested it on solaris for quite some time.
It will not work(now), but the fix should be easy.

I would favour a seperate module in the KDE CVS for it.
Currently I have a bit problems
with the KDE build system. The admin/ directory the configure.in.in
the subdirs file etc..
Is there somewehere a FAQ how the admin/ directory in KDE works?

Martin
