Re: OS X, enable embed problem, patch

Hi Chris, I'm very interested in having --enable-embed working on OS X. My experience with libtool is that it abstracts this sort of thing, so I'm a little bit confused by your work-around. Could you explain why you added --enable-embed=dylib instead of fixing --enable-embed=shared?

If you can tell me HOW to get libtool to abstract this, I'd love to fix the --enable-embed=shared instead of adding --enable-embed=dylib. I spent a fair amount of time fighting with it and couldn't get it to work, though that's due to my lack of familiarity with OS X and auto tools. It's not clear if this is a failing in libtool or if there's some setting in configure.in or Makefile.global or something that needs to be fixed. It's also possible that Apache users want a .so (even though this won't actually build on OS X). I'm not using Apache so I cannot say for sure.
