Tests fail without static libraries

[ghost]

When building libmesode (v0.10.1) from source, with --disable-static configure-flag, the build fails with following errors:

The tests make heavy use of unexported symbols; e.g., you can get them to ‘work’ by

Changing '^xmpp_' to '.', in Makefile.am, fixed the errors for me. Thanks to @nckx

Oh! You're very welcome, but I don't consider the above a fix. It's more of a warning to others.

May someone with sharper autotools chops suggest something that doesn't frighten children.
