Linux so version incorrect

Question

Linux so version incorrect

slouken opened this issue a year ago · comments

When building on Linux, the output library is libSDL3_image.so.0.0.0 instead of 3.0.0. This happens for SDL_mixer and SDL_ttf as well, so the fix should be applied across all the satellite libraries.

I'm sure this affects Debian experimental, so this should be fixed ASAP.

Thanks!

SDL3 also creates libSDL3.so.0.0.0.
My understanding was the extension is: $SOVERSION_MAJOR.$SOVERSION_MINOR.$SOVERSION_PATCH.

So for SDL3, cmake creates:

libSDL3.so -> libSDL3.so.0
libSDL3.so.0 -> libSDL3.so.0.0.0
libSDL3.so.0.0.0

You're right, I forgot that we reset the major version to zero for SDL3.
