Sorry; I don't have a Motif *or* a Lesstif, since I want to be unencumbered to work on a Free Motif clone library at some point, and both Motif and Lesstif contain OSF intellectual property (the former because it's an OSF product, the latter because of them using "nm" and other promiscuous knowledge of the Motif internals and header files for developement). > I'm not happy with using .so extentions on the ELF shared libraries, they > must be .so.1, but then it doesn't build because it wants to link against > .so files, and there is no easy way to add .so -> .so.1 symlinks... Can > anyone tell me if the -soname argument is needed for a direct call to 'ld'? There are _supposed_ to be .so -> .so.1 symlinks as part of the ELF-ification. Did you do a "make install" after the build world? You should post the ".so -> .so.1 symlink" question to -current...
