Problem with .so numbering on FreeBSD in contrast to Linux

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

it looks like the problem is indeed in ltmain.sh
of my source packages. The decisive code piece
is not the one from my last mail but this

        freebsd-elf)
          major=".$current"
          versuffix=".$current";
          ;;

which i replaced by this (learned from case linux)

        freebsd-elf)
          major=.`expr $current - $age`
          versuffix="$major.$age"
          ;;

Input parameters are: current=31, age=27, revision=0.
So this now leads to installation of
  libburn.so.4.27
which i believe complies to policies-shlib.html.


Next questions:

Is  freebsd-aout  of any importance nowadays ?

Is there a reason known why i should keep the
cumbersome increment of major in that case ?
        freebsd-aout)
          major=".$current"
          versuffix=".$current.$revision";
          ;;


Have a nice day :)
