The scenarion is as follows: We build a custom library with libtool. We use libtool to build the shared lib and the static lib. For building the library I use the following options:
libtool -release 2.1 -version-info 0.0.0 ... The shared library name results in libmyname-2.1.so.0.0.0 which is exactly what I want. But the static library archive name results in libmyname.a which more or less is not what I want. What is the problem here? We want to deliver versioned releases of our software. All libs of our software get installed in one directory (e.g. /usr/local/lib). This works quite well for the shared libs due to the fine versioning, but it fails for the static library archive. The installation via make install will always overwrite the older installations of libmyname.a. Wouldn't it be nice, if libtool had versioned the '.a' files, too, if the -release option is given? Or may be another option -staticlib-release? This is just a question? Or is there another style of versioning intended for the static libs?
