I have now tried the osx binary.zip file but I does not build at all (./configure was fine, but make had issues)
libraw-osx % make
cd . && /bin/sh automake --foreign
/usr/local/bin/automake: line 23: package: command not found
/usr/local/bin/automake: line 25: use: command not found
/usr/local/bin/automake: line 26: use: command not found

make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

Then I tried a github checkout:
This time I could build with configure and make but the result is always under the lib folder "libraw.a" instat of the "libraw.dylib".

Then I tried the same on Ubuntu and ended up as well with "libraw.a".

How can I get the system to build a shared lib ?
