No. I absolutely hate that option. Do you know how many configure
scripts I've written where I've had to figure out the proper library
name of the libdb from the berkeley db library?
I do not understand why; -ldb should do the trick unless you require a
specific libdb version.
It's a real pain in
the neck to have software compile against ours if our library names
aren't consistent from release to release. I'd be really really
really opposed to having to specify anything but -lnetsnmp on the
command line for apps that use our libraries.
libtool -release x.y -version-info ... will not prevent you from doing
this. libtool will create the libnetsmp.so link that points to
libnetsnmp-5.2.so...
Why do you need to have '5.2' in the library file name?
