[xine-user] Xv & Xshm fail (reply to Msg in Archive)

[James T. <ja...@xe...>]

To the poster from yesterday (IIRC) in the archive who was finding that he 
was only getting static Xv and Xshm plugins.

I also had his problem (SuSE 7.2 Kernel 2.4.10 + ll) and found that doing:
ld --whole-archive -shared -o libXinerama.so.0 libXinerama.a
ln -s libXinerama.so.0 libXinerama.so
ldconfig

in /usr/X11R6/lib will generate the required shared lib. You do of course 
need the static libXinerama (in the xdevel rpm on SuSE).

This should probably be in the FAQ or README.
