These files actually contains a small amount of textual meta-data for libtool to decide how linking should be performed. They do not replace .so or .a files, they complement them in the libtool world. In other terms, every autoconf/automake based software which builds a shared library which is itself linked with libjack, normally uses libtool and thus requires libjack.la to be present. This includes applications (such as Muse I presume) which build convenient internal shared libraries. I suggest that you ask on the waf-users google group how to make an .la file, they know what this is all about. -- Olivier _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
