Bug Description

'make install' installs the following in lib/

compiz/
libcompiz_core.so
libcompiz_logmessage.a (!)
libcompiz_place_constrain_to_workarea.a
libcompiz_place_screen_size_change.a
libcompiz_pluginclasshandler.a (!)
libcompiz_point.a (!)
libcompiz_rect.a (!)
libcompiz_string.a (!)
libcompiz_timer.a (!)
libcompiz_window_constrainment.a (!)
libcompiz_window_extents.a (!)
libcompiz_window_geometry.a (!)
libcompiz_window_geometry_saver.a (!)
libdecoration.so
libdecoration.so.0
libdecoration.so.0.0.0
pkgconfig/

However those marked with (!) are also linked into libcompiz_core.so.

The correct solution is to include the *.a files in libcompiz_core.so as objects instead of linking them as libraries. This ensures their complete contents get included in libcompiz_core.so and not just the symbols that libcompiz_core.so references.
