Howdy all! I have been converting the popular (with climate scientists) open source scientific data package, netcdf, to use libtool.
I am rather confused about the version numbers and how they work. Let us say I release with a version 0.0.0. Then some users write a program, and link to my library with -lnetcdf. Then, if I release an update, with major interface changes (new functions added, but none removed), I would increment to 1.0.0. Let's say the user gets the update and installs it. He is still linking his programs with -lnetcdf. How does the version number get used in this situation? That is, is there any time on the users machine that the linker notices that he is now linking to 1.0.0 instead of 0.0.0? Thanks!
