Bug Description

Shotwell is currently build to link to libraw statically. This is probably a historical artifact from previous times when libraw offered only a static library. libraw now has a shared library in its own package in Ubuntu ('libraw2'), so we should now build Shotwell to link to this shared library and to depend on the libraw2 package.

Thanks Adam, what needs to be changed to build with the library? Shotwell in Oneiric build-depends on that library and there is no special build option used, should shotwell use the system library if installed?

As long as libraw is installed on the system, the normal Shotwell build should link to it dynamically. If that doesn't seem to be happening and it's unclear why, let us know and we can investigate more.

ok, I've checked, the current version correctly build-depends and use the system lib
