Re: Convenience library in SableVM (libffi)

Grzegorz,

usually it is sufficient to declare the libtool target as
   noinst_LTLIBRARIES= libffi.la
or if libtool is not used:
   noinst_LIBRARIES= libffi.a
in Makefile.am and let automake do the work.

But I'll take a look at the source from the link you provided and see if
I can get it running.
