Default is to set "soname" on all +shared libraries as long as the platform supports it. +Generally, use this property only for leaf private libraries or +plugins. If you use it on normal shared libraries which other targets +link against, on some platforms a linker will insert a full path to +the library (as specified at link time) into the dynamic section of +the dependent binary. Therefore, once installed, dynamic loader may +eventually fail to locate the library for the binary. |
