Hi,

Are there any guidelines for compiling autotool + configure based software?

currently, i'm trying ./configure --build=i586-pc-haiku
--prefix=/boot/home/config
however, with this there's some problems with configure thinking that
either the gcc or g++ linker cannot handle shared libraries.

more specifically, are there any lines in configure scripts that
should be edited or added for haiku?

With the development optional package I've successfully built Subversion with shared libraries out-of-the-box. This did not work without major hackery on BeOS. Some packages however (neon for instance) do not build shared libraries by default, but it can be enabled with --enable-shared. Run ./configure -h when in doubt to see options and their defaults.
