Well, yes one could change the name and/or shared library number. All those other tools would then need to be adapted to look for a renamed or number-bumped library.

It would be a welcomed solution to so-called "gfortran's FreeBSD issue", but is does not solve the problem with name clashes. It is possible to have two independent libraries for independent projects where no shuffling of order in hints will work. -- Steve _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
