It is my understanding, that the combination of using lib_LTLIBRARY in your Makefile.am and using --enable-shared in configure is a request to build a shared library. I can understand that a noinst_ or check_ prefix undoes this request. But it would be nice if there were a more obvious switch than adding a dummy -rpath setting. Now that I know this, the node `Building Libtool Libraries Conditionally' is quite clear. I did not read it well, because it was not the subject I was looking for, and it talks about EXTRA_ libraries, whereas I was searching for noinst_ or check_. Greetings, Jan.
