Dear Mathieu,

Would it make sense to rename the customized charls included as a
convenient copy in dcmtk as 'libdcmcharls.so' instead of simply
'libcharls.so' ?

Yes, I agree that it would make sense to rename the DCMTK specific version of 
libcharls
to avoid naming conflicts with a system-wide charls installation.

Here is a suggested patch for cmake based build system to handle
renaming of charls to dcmcharls.

Thank you for the patch. We will rename the library to "dcmtkcharls"
(instead of "dcmcharls", as your patch suggests) to make the naming
consistent with the renamed OpenSSL libraries we use on Windows,
but otherwise I will commit your patch so that the naming conflict
will be gone in the upcoming DCMTK 3.6.6 release.


Best regards,
Dr. Marco Eichelberg
