Thanks. FYI, I figured out a mechanism that causes the symbolic links to be created only when shared libraries are being built. I've now installed a new version of the code (2012.12.21) that includes your suggestion for adding an "install:" target. Please check that this version works OK for you now (after running "genMakefiles linux-with-shared-libraries") > 2) The *_VERSION_CURRENT, *_VERSION_REVISION, *_VERSION_AGE variables > should be put into a separate file, because they are not Linux specific. > They should be used on other systems (e.g. BSD) too. Yes - I'll arrange for those variables to be set the same way in each "config.<mumble>" file (for shared libraries) that ends up getting distributed with the code. > 3) Some symbols used by the shared libraries are not found in none of > the libraries (build.log attached). Are you sure about these? When static libraries are built (and applications linked against them), I don't see complaints about any undefined symbols. It seems unlikely, then that there would be a problem with undefined symbols just when shared libraries are used. (Or perhaps there's a problem with the order in which the shared libraries are linked against the applications??) Anyway, thanks once again for your help with this.
