simde is a header files only library. It's not a binary. There is no shared object file in it.

But do not need to distribute it for each project. For the better user experience, we are promoting the system library for both RPM and Debian based Linux distributions. -- Jun | He - His - Him _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
