(specificly Tcl extensions). If using libtool, it *should* create
symlinks
for the .so file without the version numbers like this:
Yes, currently it both creates a .so.x.y file as well as a symbolic link from just .so, the assertion from OpenBSD is that for this use case there should only be the .so.
In my case, the shared library is *both* a dlopen'ed tcl extension and can also be linked to by a C++ program. This is under Linux, but I do the
same
under MacOSX (which is an OpenBSD variant under-the-hood).
OS X is actually based off of FreeBSD :). But all of the BSD's cross pollinate to some extent.
In this case, it is only a dynamically loaded module, I do not believe it is suitable or there would be a use case to link to it directly from an application. I don't really care myself, but it is one of the stall points keeping my changes from getting incorporated so I need to sort it out.
Thanks.
