Please note: the libtool scheme has absolutely nothing to do with the linker on any compiler/system I know of. On Linux a binary gets linked to libopenobex.so, the linker reads the SONAME from libopenobex.so and adds that to the dependency list of the other binary. That would work even with having only libopenobex.so.2 as the real binary library file. With CMake I can just name the files: libopenobex.so libopenobex.so.2 libopenobex.so.1.6.0 Asuming anything from the name of the latter file name is libtool miseducation. You can only do this if you know that this library was built using libtool and not renamed afterwards. Since most system administrators will not know about the libtool naming scheme, it is fairly useless (because the encoding information is not understood). You can use -version-number 2:0:0 instead of -version-info 6:0:0 I just don't know if this is Debian specific or a normal libtool feature. It still extracts the soname automatically from the first given part (that really hurts, why don't they provide an option instead of guessing?), so 2:0:0 must be used instead if 1:6:0 At that point, I don't care anymore. When using libtool, you obviously have to live with it guessing values.
