I'm about to NMU lib3ds to upgrade to 1.3.0 upstream and to fix some of the other outstanding bugs. I just thought I'd comment on why I'm not fixing this bug:
Providing an existing library as a shared library is not simply a matter of providing the appropriate build setup. Also needed is to consider ABI stability. This usually involves negotiating (or trying to negotiate) with upstream about sonames, determining which versions are and are not ABI-compatible, and so forth. Also, I see from the bug logs that the shared libraries were withdrawn by upstream. It seems unwise to revert a decision without at least trying to find out why it was taken ! I think that in the meantime, other applications which want to use libds3 should link against the .a. I will fix the lack of PIC on amd64 so that this can work properly.
