FreeBSD surfers,

The building rules for shared libraries in XFree86 is said to be
described in `/usr/X386/lib/X11/config/<os>Lib.rules,' according to
Imake.rules.

Imagine, I'm about to compile an application, which gives a library
for keep as well. e.g. libXpm.

However, my copy of XFree86-2.1.1 for the FreeBSD only contained the
following 6 files, none of them seeming relevant to the FreeBSD
environment.  Result: I only got a static library.

 % ls *Lib.rules
 ibmLib.rules	sgiLib.rules	sv3Lib.rules
 lnuxLib.rules	sunLib.rules	sv4Lib.rules
 %

So, check your /usr/X386/lib/X11/config/*Lib.rules and if you find
something other than the ones listed above, let me know what you got.

Post/e-mail ok, I'll put a summary up later.  Thanks in advance.

Regards,
junichi
