Using major and minor numbers after the .so designation is an old aout (de facto) standard. ELF settled on just major numbers. And typically you will find a symbolic link from libwhatever.so to libwhatever.so.1 Also, from FreeBSD's ldconfig manual page: "Filenames must conform to the lib*.so.[0-9] pattern in order to be added to the hints file." So ending a shared object with the build flags will cause problems on FreeBSD and probably the other BSDs (DragonFly, NetBSD, OpenBSD) and most likely Mac OS X as well. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ | GPG: 2EAC625B Time is merely a residue of Reality... _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
