[DVDnav-discuss] [PATCH] libdvdread: `dvdread-config --libs` should include "-ldl"

Hi,

Hmm wait. Shouldn't that be outputted only when linking statically ?
libdvdread.so should be linked to libdl if needed, what's the problem
with not having -ldl in --libs ?

By the way, as far as I know, libdl isn't a standard thing, see eg.
[1], freebsd does not have libdl and this patch will probably cause any
application using dvdread-config to fail on freebsd...

Regards,

Alexis.
