I'd suggest installing a script which generates the unversioned names. If we generate the symlinks autmatically: 1. If something uses the unversioned name by mistake, we don't get an error. 2. Windows builds will end up with two copies of each library (the MSys version of "ln" simply copies the file). For GRASS itself, #2 is mostly harmless; the unversioned copies will be unused (they should be omitted from binary packages). But the GDAL-GRASS plugin probably won't work, as the plugin will be linked against the unversioned libraries while the unversioned libraries will be linked against the versioned libraries. So any process using the plugin will end up pulling in both copies, and each copy will have its own distinct set of global variables. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
