Indeed, I had been using libtool's -export-symbols-regex which I thought translated into a version script, but apparently it helps to use an explicit version script instead.

There is one part of the copyright formatting rules that is unclear to me (the wiki page is a bit unwieldy so possibly this is answered there): Should the copyright notices from the license text in the files be included in the [LICENSE TEXT] part? /Simon _______________________________________________ Help-gss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gss
