Great job! Maybe instead of building small .so's we can just symlink them all to the efl-one.so? Or would that cause symbol duplications if multiple ones are used? If it works though we can just use the efl.so name and not have to call it efl-one.so. > > If you have an app that you want to test out with efl-one: There is now > a efl-one.pc file installed, which can be used to link to the correct > libraries, no other efl dependency is then required. Why not just efl.pc? Did we ever ship efl.pc/was it ever used?
