<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi --
while packaging this release for Gentoo, I ran into a few issues
with the build system:<br>
<br>
1. --enable-shared_lib does nothing<br>
<br>
2. the static lib always installs<br>
<br>
3. when using --enable-static_lib and a recent device-mapper
(from the lvm2 package), compilation fails due to the fact that
it will not link against udev<br>
<br>
I have patched my copy to deal with 2 and 3, and can provide
these patches if desired. I got around #3 using pkg-config
checks.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Ian<br>
