> I know people are using LTS, but the only thing I can think of is renaming libglfw.so for one of the packages - a change which is far to invasive for a Xenial SRU (as it would break applications already relying on the libglfw.so name).
Actually this would only affect *compiling* applications, as compiled applications are linked against libglfs.so.2 or libglfw.so.3. So for example making libglfw-dev to create libglfw2.so being symlink to libglfw.so.2 would mean that during compilation one would have to run linker with '-lglfw2' option instead of '-lglfw'. That could mean breaking compilation of some packages... but I don't think any package depends on GLFW. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1635684 Title: libglfw3-dev unnecessarily conflicts with libglfw-dev (for GLFW 2.x) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glfw3/+bug/1635684/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
