i have the 'Shared lib' option set to yes. i assumed this meant mysql but then i noticed mysql has it's own option. that and everything is indented after 'Shared lib' indicating everything after is a subset. am i correct in thinking 'Shared lib' in this instance refers to linux shared libraries? what happens if this is set to no? does it compile with all the necessary libs included so shared libraries arent needed?

Using --enable-shared-lib will compile XBMC as a shared lib. ie. libxbmc.so
