When introducing libtool with a libraries like X that have a well-established SONAME, one does not get to change the SONAME just because new applications using libtool shouldn't try to override the SONAME. It may be libtool abuse in a new application with no established library versioning, but for X, it's the difference between a working build system and a broken build system. There are ten-year-old binaries that expect a particular SONAME for the X libraries and can't simply be rebuilt. It's very, very important that they not break. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
