btw the reason why the shared library is in a subdirectory is because it is not versioned: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503314 so you should keep in mind that when linking against the shared library your application can break or require a recompile when the library updates in a abi/api incompatible way.
for static libraries versioning is not necessary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/832334 Title: linking error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lp-solve/+bug/832334/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
