It seems that I have found an answer, but it is not as automatic as it seems
it should be.
If I use the NOCLEAN option and then go into the build directory and do:
ld -shared inlinedwg_pl_4215.o -o
../../lib/auto/inlinedwg_pl_4215/inlinedwg_pl_4215.so /usr/local/lib/ad2.a
/usr/local/lib/ad2pic.a
It appears to be working, but I will have to do this step by hand every time I
change the C code and cause a recompile?
Does it have something to do with MakeMaker not finding the *.a files in the
Makefile.PL?
Is there any way to make .so files out of .a files?
