Hello,
I'm trying to compile a C program linking to the genericly names shared object
files. The library is OpenAL, and the .so files are...
openal/src/.libs/libopenal.so
openal/src/.libs/libopenal.so.0
...which are symlinks to...
openal/src/.libs/libopenal.so.0.0.0
...it looks like the Makefile is passing the corect filename to gcc, but ldd
reports that the compiled executable links to "libopenal.so.0", so it, of
course, doesn't find it.
It's doing a similar thing with all the shared object files that it links to,
even the ones for which I passed the generically named symlinks, but OpenAL is
the only one that gives me trouble (probably because the file I have installed
on my system has a different name from the one I linked to).
I want the executable to link to generically named .so files, because I want
it to work with both the .so files included with the release, and whatever .so
files are installed on the user's system (which may vary between distros, even
with the same version of the library).
How do I force this?
Thanks,
Aidan
