I've been using libtool for years, hacking on it for personal use for a while, and on this list for a year or so.
One thing I've never understood about libtool is why it uses both SONAME style versioning *and* internal versioning on platforms like IRIX and Tru64. In the past I've hacked out the SONAME style versioning on those two platforms so that it just uses `libwhatever.so' as the SONAME, and the versioning is done via the internal versioning field. Still there are advantages to using SONAME-based versioning (i.e. it's slightly easier to have multiple versions of a library available on a platform). What I don't get is the rationale for using both styles. Can anyone enlighten me regarding this issue? Thanks!
