Brent Davis commented on XERCESC-2176:
--------------------------------------
I gave the 3.2 PR a test drive on both Linux and MacOS for static and shared
library builds. The created library names and symlinks now look like what one
would expect to see on those platforms. Nice. Thanks for the fix!

> 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
