Re: only installing shared versions of some libs
That's not the correct way to do that. Yes, libtool is a prerequisite and you need -shared, but it should be in _LDFLAGS. But more importantly you want -module and -avoid-version. My Autotools Mythbuster guide has a section dedicated to building plugins: https://www.flameeyes.eu/autotools-mythbuster/libtool/plugins.html Have fun.

Given the Libtool[1] and Automake manuals, I think it might be possible to do what you want by modifying libexample_la_CXXFLAGS (or similar appropriate) variable to add Libtool's -shared flag, which, I think, should/could do what you want.

only installing shared versions of some libs
I've recently adapted a project to support DSO plugins/modules The existing project includes normal libraries and binaries. In a normal build, we want to a) build and install the shared and static versions of the normal libraries b) only install the shared versions of the plugins I don't mind whether static versions of the plugins are built (we don't currently use them) but I would prefer that "make install" does not install them Can anybody comment on the best way to do this? The Makefile.am is linked from here (repro/plugins/example/Makefile.am): http://list.resiprocate.org/archive/resiprocate-commit/msg07875.html
