Re: [xml-cppdom-devel] Shared library naming problem

[Allen B. <al...@vr...>]

The CVS version has had AutoDist removed and I do not recommend using 
AutoDist any more.  There are a number of dubious things that it does 
and IMHO it just adds more complexity to the build then is needed. 

Please let me know if the problem still occurs in CVS.
