I'm using xfce from SVN from last week (r19502). when compiling additional plugins, like clipman 0.6 or xfdesktop, it builds without the .so suffix. The plugins that come with the panel don't suffer from that problem. I have no idea what info you really need, so please ask for what info you need. The system is mandriva cooker, with glibc-2.3.5, gtk-2.8.10 and gcc-4.0
I have no idea. Sounds like a general libtool problem to me. What versions of libtool, autoconf and automake are you using?
These are the versions installed: libtool-1.5.20-5mdk intltool-0.34.1-1mdk automake1.8-1.9.6-3mdk autoconf2.5-2.59-6mdk glib-gettextize-2.8.6-1mdk
Hmm, those versions are fine. I really have no idea what the problem is, but I'm almost sure it has something to do with the build tools. Anyone else have a suggestion?
I've seen that before, it was a problem with the GNU auto tools IIRC.
Libtool, specifically. Sounds like you're using an old buggy version.
