------------------------------------
Summary: Incorrect symbolic links created for Linux static library
and MacOS static and shared libraries
Key: XERCESC-2176
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2176
Project: Xerces-C++
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build
Affects Versions: 3.2.2
Environment: Linux, MacOS
Reporter: Brent Davis
We build Xerces-C++ for both the Linux and MacOS platforms, with both static
and shared libraries. There are arguably some dubiously named symbolic links
created by src/CMakeLists.txt. The symlinks are always named 'libxerces-c.so'
regardless or library type, or use of the .dylib extension on MacOS.
||Platform||Library Type||Symbolic Link||Comment||

libxerces-a or not created{color}|

|{color:#de350b}MacOS{color}|{color:#de350b}static{color}|{color:#de350b}libxerces-c.so
-> libxerces-c-3.2.a{color}|{color:#de350b}symbolic link should either be
libxerces-a or not created{color}|
|{color:#de350b}
{color}|{color:#de350b}shared{color}|{color:#de350b}libxerces-c.so ->
libxerces-c-3.2.dylib{color}|{color:#de350b}symbolic link should best be named
libxerces-c.dylib{color}|
Curiously, the Microsoft _vcpkg_ folks just recently ran into the Linux static
library portion of this issue and elected to not create the symlink in that
case. See [[xerces-c] produces strange files in
installed/x64-linux/lib|[https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/7490]].
