Well, as you don't seem to say exactly what you need: you can
- add -export-symbols* to libfoo_la_LDFLAGS, or
- add visibility annotations right to your source files
  (preferably through a #define so you can factor for different
  spellings).

You can get better help if you describe more precisely what you already
tried, and more importantly, which way you decided to go now.

Cheers,
Ralf
