unversioned shared library
Hi, I'm maitaining iiwusynth which includes an unversioned shared library. I never made a separate packages for the lib part (no -dev either) cause the package is really small but now some other DD asks me for an extra package, containing the lib (+ another -dev package) because his own package depends on the same library. Upstream author never versioned his dynamic library. What am I supposed to do ? What soname should I use for the library ? Please CC me any reply.

See libpkg-guide for some help. adding something to: libwhatever_la_LDFLAGS = -export-dynamic -release @VERSION@ -version-info 0:0:0 to Makefile.am should create something reasonable for an unstable shared library, suggest using this for the upstream (if they do versioning at all). But I suggest reading libtool/autoconf/automake manual a bit. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Junichi Uekawa http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer GPG Fingerprint : 17D6 120E 4455 1832 9423 7447 3059 BF92 CD37 56F4 Libpkg-guide: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

A shared library without a version number is broken, or else it is not a shared library (i.e., it is a plugin or such, and only used by one program). > Upstream author never versioned his dynamic library. What am I supposed to > do ? What soname should I use for the library ? If it is truly meant to be shared, then someone needs to take responsibility for properly versioning it. This person should be the upstream author. Ask them to read the libtool manual's section on versioning, and perhaps parts of libpkg-guide. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
