We're all ignorant one way or another. ;-) > Do you know of a definitive guide & explanation of the correct way to > define/use SONAMEs etc? There is not always one correct way. However, there is one way that the Libtool manual recommends, and following it has turned out useful for both developers and users of a library. The Libtool approach is to not change the name part of the SONAME (on most systems, anyway), but only to modify the version part, with a custom, per-system mapping from abstract interface numbers to SONAME version. The API is described in info Libtool Versioning. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
