Dear All,<br><br>I am currently trying to create a shared library using
boost-build with version naming so that ldconfig will automatically
create the necessary symbolic links after installation.&nbsp; Normally, the
[gcc] command line for this is something similar to the following.
<br><br>gcc -shared -Wl,-h,libstuff.so.0 -o libstuff.so.0.0 stuff.o -lc<br><br>whereby
a shared library called libstuff.so.0.0 will be created and then when
ldconfig is executed (with appropriate path setup), the symbolic link
libstuff.so.0 will be created which points to the libstuff.so.0.0 file.<br><br>Using
boost-build, I have created a tag rule which modifies the name of the
shared library (type SHARED_LIB) to include the version number which
correctly modifies the soname to the name returned from the rule (with
major version number).&nbsp; The resulting command line is as follows:
<br><br>&quot;g++&quot; -o &quot;bin/gcc-4.1.1/release/libstuff.so.0&quot; -Wl,-h
-Wl,libstuff.so.0 -shared -Wl,--start-group
&quot;bin/gcc-4.1.1/release/stuff.o&quot; -Wl,--end-group -Wl,--strip-all<br><br>However,
as seen above, it also modifies the object name to the same value.&nbsp;
What I need is to modify the object name to a different value (with the
major and minor version numbers).&nbsp; The desired command line is as
follows:
<br><br>&quot;g++&quot; -o &quot;bin/gcc-4.1.1/release/libstuff.so.0.0&quot; -Wl,-h
-Wl,libstuff.so.0 -shared -Wl,--start-group
&quot;bin/gcc-4.1.1/release/stuff.o&quot; -Wl,--end-group -Wl,--strip-all<br><br>Does anybody know how I achieve this with boost-build?<br><br>Any help would be appreciated.<br><br>Regards,<br>Anthony
