Re: [libextractor] Problem compiling libextractor with shared '-lgobject-2.0'

[Ravi Desai]

Thanks, you are right. The message is different. Sorry about that, I was
just looking for the -lgobject part. Here is the error message with the
'--disable-glib' flag.

Here is the new error message, the one in which I placed your
Makefile.am in the 'src/plugins' folder.
