Comment (by Olly Betts):

 > Works only creating static library. Got undefined reference else (both
 linux and windows)

 It struck me that this is rather suspicious - there shouldn't be any
 undefined references (and there aren't with the current build system) so
 this suggests to me that you aren't putting the correct set of files into
 the library (or you're misbuilding them in some way that means symbols are
 missing, perhaps due to symbol visibility).

 I'd suggest working on solving this as it may be the cause of the other
 problems and should be easier to debug (first compare the list of sources
 in the library with the current build system and yours; if the same, check
 the compilation options used match).

 Also even if this is not the root of the problem, a shared library build
 would be a prerequisite for switching build systems so it needs resolving.

 > it would need to be targetted at the release series after next

 BTW I should probably note that I'm expecting the release series after
 next to follow much sooner than 1.4.0 to now (or 1.2.0 to 1.4.0).  The key
 thing to do for it is to complete the relicensing of libxapian.
