I wonder what is upstream's take on this? I've started to work on x265. The upstream build systems is a lot saner now. The shared library has a proper SONAME and it's no longer necessary to patch the build system. The inital packaging can be found at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/x265.git. I'm going to play with it a day or two and then I'll probably upload it. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The first part patches the 64 bit system detection, though it's more
cosmetics.
The second part is more important, it ensures that the library will be
named after its soname and there will only one link be created.
For example: libx265.so.22 (file), libx265.so (link)

Bug#750817: ITP: x265 -- x265 HEVC Encoder
I made some scripts and stuff a while ago to build proper (I guess, but I could be wrong) Debian packages. If you want to create a package from a current hg snapshot, it automatically patches the cmake file and adds all the version information. https://github.com/darealshinji/Debian/tree/master/x265 The source package builds an additional 10bit version under a different name (libx265-10b) too. It works fine on Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~djcj/+archive/x265/+packages https://launchpad.net/%7Edjcj/+archive/x265/+packages Maybe you can use some of the stuff. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, On 10.06.2014 02:06, Reinhard Tartler wrote: I took a first look at the package, and it builds a shared library by default (good). Unfortunately, it doesn't provide a proper SONAME: $ objdump -p libx265.so | grep SONAME SONAME libx265.so It does have a proper SONAME, when I'm building it (with default options): $ objdump -p libx265.so | grep SONAME SONAME libx265.so.22 How does your x265/build/linux/x265_config.h look like? It should contain: #ifndef X265_CONFIG_H #define X265_CONFIG_H /* Defines generated at build time */ /* Incremented each time public API is changed, X265_BUILD is used as * the shared library SONAME on platforms which support it. It also * prevents linking against a different version of the static lib */ #define X265_BUILD 22 #endif The only strange thing is that the generated libx265.so.22 is a symlink to libx265.so.1.1, but I guess this doesn't really matter, as long as libx265.so.22 is there. This makes me wonder if it's worth building it as shared library in debian as this point, or if we wouldn't be better of with a static library only. I wonder what is upstream's take on this? I would appreciate it if a shared library would be build, so that other programs (like FFmpeg) can use it.
