[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 3/4] Add library version extenstion

[Thomas Monjalon]

2014-12-23 10:51, Neil Horman:
> To differentiate libraries that break ABI, we add a library version number
> suffix to the library, which must be incremented when a given libraries ABI is
> broken.  This patch enforces that addition, sets the initial abi soname
> extension to 1 for each library and creates a symlink to the base SONAME so 
> that
> the test applications will link properly.

Newline changes seem weird.

I think (not sure) that @false is better handled than @exit in case of parallel 
processing.

Why using ./ ?
Why using the eval trick for $(LIBSONAME) instead of $(basename $(LIB)) ?
Even better, you could use $< instead of $(LIB), matter of taste.
