First, please do not reply to other threads when you start a new topic.
Just send a new message to the list.  Then, please don't top-post.
Thank you, it makes reading the list mails much easier for others.

If you know to create a libtool library file (.la file), then you have
already all that you need: the shared library (.so file) will be created
alongside, and upon 'make install', copied into the libdir.
