tools: Link libvirt.la and readline to libvirt_shell.a
So, our mingw build is broken. It's because while libvirt_shell library is using some of our internal APIs, e.g. virStrndup, and readline API but it's not being linked with nor libvirt.la nor libreadline. Only subsequent users of the library, like virsh, do link to the needed libraries. In fact, I'm surprised Linux linker doesn't care, because how can it make a static library with missing symbols is mystery to me. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
