I noticed by examining the resulting libSDL_mixer.dylib with otool -L, even when built with dynamic loading of OGG Vorbis, that the library binaryu still specifies dependancies on libogg, libvorbis and libvorbisfile.

Surely this defeats the point of loading these libs at run time? This would be a great bonus on OS X as it would avoid having to use install_name_tool when setting up your app bundle with the dylibs included, due to Apple's stupidity in hard-coding lib paths into the binaries!

I build SDL_mixer using the gcc-fat.sh script as the compiler. Could this be related? It doesn't seem so to me, it seems more like a ./configure issue

Dynamic loading was forcibly disabled in the configure script on Mac OS X...so it wasn't that it was loading it at runtime and also explicitly linking against it, it's that it was ONLY linking explicitly against it.

I've corrected this in Subversion now, for both Ogg Vorbis and SMPEG.

Fixed in svn revision # 2959.
