I compiled & installed the gcc suite to get the 6.x toolset (only had 4.x
available before).
A side effect of this has cropped up in various libs generated
by the new toolset that other tools link to:
/home/opt/Qt/5.8/gcc_64/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so:
/usr/lib64/libQt5Core.so.5: no version information available (required
by /home/opt/Qt/5.8/gcc_64/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so)
Why did this disappear w/new gcc? Did I leave off some
switch in gcc-config or in compiling or linking the libs?
Why is an internal version number needed? Wasn't the
".so" extension supposed to allow for library versioning
along the lines of:
foo.so.4.3
foo.so.5.8
foo.so.4 => foo.so.4.3
foo.so.5 => foo.so.5.8
foo.so => foo.so.5
(not that such is used very often on linux for some reason).
Thanks much!
