Does GCC supports Manifest file On LINUX???

Message 1 in thread

Hi ALL,

Can anyone tell me that does GCC supports Manifest file on LINUX or does
it have any other mechanism similar to manifest file so as to support
versioning of DLLs on LINUX (with or without Qt).

Please refer to any links or documentation or sample code, IF POSSIBLE.

 

Thanks

Shuchi

Shared libraries on linux are versioned using the filename, search for
soversion on google and you should find some more information. Basically
a library filename looks like libfoobar.so.<version>.Every time a
new version of library is created that is not binary compatible with the
previous one you have to increase the version. Failing to do so will
give the clients of your app real headaches.
