A while back I had a go at this. I got Sablotron-0.36 to build sabcmd OK
using automake, autoconf and libtool. I did not however manage to get the
produced libraries to link with perl.
This is under FreeBSD, and I am so far unaware of any one who has managed to
get the perl module to link correctly by any means under FreeBSD, so I am not
sure if this was due to anything I did wrong, or to these build tools.
libtool's documentation does contain warnings that there are problems with
using it to build C++ libraries.
I'm happy to send my code to anyone who wants to look at what i did.
