#64 Wrong filename of the library

[Laurent Bigonville]

Hello,

When building the latest version of openobex, library is called libopenobex.so.1.7.1 and the symlink pointing it is called libopenobex.so.2

This is IMHO not correct.

According to the following link, the library should be called libopenobex.so.2.x.x:

Hi,

you are mistaken. The .so.2 is the name for the ABI version 2. This can be related to the library version but it does not have to.

The major version did not change to 2.x because the API did not change in a major way.

The broken world of autotools is not an argument. They made up their own library numbering/naming scheme but that's just their point of view. I consider their methods limiting and wrong.
