[Flac-dev] flac-xmms problem

[Ben Hines]

I'm not a libtool/automake expert, but I think the problem with the 
plugin build on OS X is that this is not correct:

libxmms_flac_la_LIBADD = \
	$(top_builddir)/src/plugin_common/libplugin_common.a \
	$(top_builddir)/src/share/grabbag/libgrabbag.a \
	$(top_builddir)/src/share/gain_analysis/libgain_analysis.a \
	$(top_builddir)/src/share/utf8/libutf8.a \

I think you need to make .la files for these, and point libtool at the 
.la files instead of the .a files (it would be more portable as well). 
According to my look at the libtool docs,  LIBADD is for libtool 
libraries only. Alternatively you could probably add them to one of the 
link flags with a (non-libtool) automake macro, if libtool would accept 
that.

I think those would be called "convenience libraries", see:
