Sorry, I thought that was a copy&paste error and you only meant to rebuild
caveexpress. Ok, if I had known that I would have requested a proper
transition. However I would consider not build-depending on a 2d physics
library like box2d. Usually this library is embedded in custom games because
whenever there are changes to the library the physical effects can change too.
Thus the shared version currently works with caveexpress but future versions
may break your use case (slideshows?[1]) even without big changes like a SONAME
bump. 

Regards,

Markus
