--- Comment #6 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> --- this seems reasonable. ===== However, for the record: * if a shared library is User-facing and needs to be passed to ld64, then the convention is that the suffix = .dylib * if it's part of a framework, then the suffix is usually omitted. ---- * If it's a plug-in only dlopen-ed by a specific process, then the suffix can be whatever you like (e.g. it could be .gomp-plugin to make it clear what its purpose is). Probably not worth the configuration-fu to achieve this tho.
