undefined reference to `cs_disasm'

Hi, the build process is broken or I am missing some dependency (maybe some libs are too new?) on Ubuntu Server 24.04.01LTS:

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=24.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=noble
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS"

cs_disasm is a function provided by capstone. Make sure you're linking the output to capstone library.

ah sorry, for my initial reply to your answer and the confusion (in case you saw it). I got your answer by email and confused two projects. Rg. this case, due to the "-- Compiling with Capstone" output of the config script, I assumed the config script found the capstone lib and has some issue to hand it over to the makefile/linker or the functions was deprecated in my capstone lib version. TBH I didn't looked deeper into it or tried to fix it, just wanted to let you know.
