Hi, We have programmed the 930 beta of X-Plane to look for BOTH libopenal .so.1 and .so.0, because half the distros we support have changed the lib version and half have not.
We continue to want to know (and still have not been told) in what way the ABI changed that warranted a reversioning of the library. We are _not_ changing old versions of X-Plane that have been closed. Our users often symlink openal to get around that. Since the simlink works, it appears to us that there are not real binary ABI changes, hence our asking what really changed. cheers Ben Ákos Maróy wrote: > what did the X-Plane people say? it seems that the latest X-Plane is > still trying to load libopenal.so.0 ... > -- Scenery Home Page: http://scenery.x-plane.com/ Scenery blog: http://xplanescenery.blogspot.com/ Plugin SDK: http://www.xsquawkbox.net/xpsdk/ X-Plane Wiki: http://wiki.x-plane.com/ Scenery mailing list: [email protected] Developer mailing list: [email protected] -- /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 missing from Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273558 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian/Ubuntu Games Team, which is subscribed to openal-soft in ubuntu. Status in “openal-soft” source package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: libopenal1 Version: 1:1.3.253-4ubuntu1 The libopenal1 binary package in Intrepid replaces the old libopenal0a binary package from Hardy, Gutsy etc. libopenal0a created /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0, but the new libopenal1 package does not (it creates /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 instead). This breaks some third-party binaries, eg X-Plane (http://www.x-plane.com/). Suggested fix: The libopenal1 binary package should create a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 to /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 Alternative fix: Retain the old libopenal0a binary package in Intrepid, in addition to the new libopenal1 binary package. And change the libopenal1 package so that it does not replace libopenal0 or libopenal0a. _______________________________________________ Pkg-games-ubuntu mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-ubuntu
