The relevant data I have on hand are: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654013 https://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild/commit/?id=965c8d5ceda9d1c5d6021ef2c534e0a7f68ca976 I think the executive summary is that libltdl knows how to load .so files directly (at least currently), so there's no reason to have even ${libdir}/modulename/plugins/foo.la. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
