Hi I ported audiofile and esound to shared dlls using a less ambitious technique than Rob Collins. As I do not have a very good understanding of autotools and libtool, I decided to just patch the Makefile.in files (and decorate headers as necessary using Chuck Wilson's dllhelpers as a template. I allow configure to build static libaries, but the Makefiles then run a script to generate the dll from the .a file, and update the .la files. In case they are of any help, I attach the patches here. BTW I have been applying this technique to the gnome packages one by one, and have got as far as gtk-engines, building xfce-3.8.8b as a test platform, and so far all seems to work well. I am having difficulty with ORBit, so thats as far as I have gat to date. Obviously, fixing libtool to generate dlls is a much preferable solution, but I offer these patches as temporary hacks to anyone who is interested. Steven
