That would be manual work, would not it? And manual work tensd to be forgotten sometimes. >- Look at the symbols that got used, and only depend on > >= 23 when symbols from that version are used. This sounds like the nicest approach, but how would you figure out what symbols belong to 23 and which to 22? What if a symbol has kept its name, yet changed in semantics? The Linux Kernel has a number of features that address these issues for itself, and it would take work to make this fly for standard userspace code too. _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
