I'd recommend being consistent with _upstream_ then, and setting the install_name as libipe.5.dylib. > BTW, if ipe7-shlib is a splitoff of ipe, and there is an upgrade of ipe > upstream with a different major version, and I end up having ipe8-shlibs > as a splitoff of a new version of ipe, then nobody can build ipe7-shlibs > anymore, which sounds a little bad.
