I suppose we need to set him right with a patch, there's no activity with the bug yet.
I'm finishing a patch that uses -release. Therefor the libs will be called lib<xyz>-1.9.so. If upstream decides to really care for the ABI and thus use -version we can easily cahnge that.
I'm planning on attempting to use autotools for a makeinstall of the collada libraries (scons build system)
That would at least increase the number of folks that understand the configuration.
it looks very easy to use and the documentation is easy to understand.
Don't be fooled. The autotools can get rather tricky in some cases, but on the whole automake does IMNSHO make things rather easy. And the documentation is better then that for other build systems. BTW, I finally found the reason for the libxxx-1.9.so.0.0.0! configure.ac has MJPEG_MAJOR_VERSION=1 MJPEG_MINOR_VERSION=9 MJPEG_MICRO_VERSION=0 MJPEG_VERSION=$MJPEG_MAJOR_VERSION.$MJPEG_MINOR_VERSION.$MJPEG_MICRO_VERSION LT_RELEASE=$MJPEG_MAJOR_VERSION.$MJPEG_MINOR_VERSION LT_CURRENT=$MJPEG_MICRO_VERSION LT_REVISION=$MJPEG_MICRO_VERSION LT_AGE=$MJPEG_MICRO_VERSION AC_SUBST(LT_RELEASE) AC_SUBST(LT_CURRENT) AC_SUBST(LT_REVISION) AC_SUBST(LT_AGE) AC_SUBST(LT_STATIC) Which explains why LT_CURRENT, LT_REVISION and LT_AGE are all set to 0. And then the Makefile.am files have: -version-info $(LT_CURRENT):$(LT_REVISION):$(LT_AGE) \ -release $(LT_RELEASE) $(EXTRA_LDFLAGS) which results to '-version-info 0:0:0 -release 1.9' being passed to libtool and that's exactly what you get.
