The debian maintainer uses the integration of many external libraries to libdirectfb (xlib, sdl...). This is of course very good, because usually one wants all the features. However I am working on the installer, and we intend to use libdirectfb and gtk+-directfb to implement a graphical frontend. On the installer we are very restricted regarding space, so it would be undesirably to use the library packaged by the maintainer. So we have to package libdirectfb with a minimal configuration. If now linking of other libraries would initially take place against the original directfb library, but later on the install disk the minimal library would be used, this could lead to relocation errors, as Junich Uekawa pointed out [1]. So I need both libraries installable on the system, but with different SONAMES for the linker to distinguish. Hope that makes it clear and thanks for your help, Sebastian [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2003/debian-boot-200301/msg00001.html -- PGP-Key: http://www.mmweg.rwth-aachen.de/~sebastian.ley/public.key Fingerprint: A46A 753F AEDC 2C01 BE6E F6DB 97E0 3309 9FD6 E3E6 -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
