> Key: XERCESC-2176
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2176
> Project: Xerces-C++
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Affects Versions: 3.2.0, 3.2.1, 3.2.2
> Environment: Linux, MacOS
> Reporter: Brent Davis
> Assignee: Roger Leigh
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.2.3

> We build Xerces-C++ for both the Linux and MacOS platforms, with both static
> and shared libraries. There are arguably some dubiously named symbolic links
> created by src/CMakeLists.txt. The symlinks are always named
> 'libxerces-c.so' regardless or library type, or use of the .dylib extension
> on MacOS.

> Curiously, the Microsoft _vcpkg_ folks just recently ran into the Linux
> static library portion of this issue and elected to not create the symlink in
> that case. See [[xerces-c] produces strange files in
> installed/x64-linux/lib|[https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/7490]].
