I'm not planning any changes to the 'build system' itself.  I would hope, 
however, that things like shared libraries could be accommodated by using a 
different "config.*" file - e.g., perhaps named something like 
"config.linux-with-shared-libraries" or "config.debian-with-shared-libraries" - 
and then using the exiting "genMakefiles" tool.  So that's the approach that I 
would pursue first.

(And as for the suggestion of switching to using 'CMake', see 
<http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2012-July/015600.html>)

Personally, though, I don't particularly like shared libraries; in this day and 
age (with disk space and memory being so abundant) they're just more trouble 
than they're worth.  (The only 'dynamic link' that I hope you put in Debian 
distributions is a 'link' to the URL "http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/";, so 
that people can download the latest version of the code; the only version that 
we support :-)  But of course, you're welcome to try building shared libraries 
if you wish.
