it's yet another problem.

as I stated earlier, the problem was not creating a stand-alone
library (which I solved using the Library_Interface option in the
sample's project file).


I haven't tested/ported it to MacOS X (I was going to do this today,
but I driven myself thinking about how to explain the use of AwPlug...
and I came up with a simple example of use and writing some sample
code - I still got to write some things... but well, that's not the
case).

The thing is: it's looking for a file named libsampleplug.so. Your
shared library might be called something else.


I'll work on this 'till next week and write an OS X port of awlib
(there where's the implementation for all the routines that are system
dependent).

btw: I know some Makefiles aren't cross platform, but they can be
easily changed and I intend use scons somewhere in the near future for
the entire project.
