When building or +installing appropriate symlinks are created if the platform supports +symlinks and the linker supports so-names. If only one of both is +specified the missing is assumed to have the same version number. +SOVERSION is ignored if NO_SONAME property is set. For shared +libraries and executables on Windows the VERSION attribute is parsed +to extract a "major.minor" version number. These numbers are used as +the image version of the binary. |
