Sorry for the delay in getting to this. We'll look at adding this, but will see if a "true" SOVERSION can be determined using something like ABI Compliance Checker. |
It would be nice to be able to have soversions for Geant4 libraries. This makes packaging easier, as it can trigger automatic rebuilds. I understand that this is not wished by default. I propose a solution similar to what ROOT does: * Add a new build option (something like GEANT4_USE_SOVERSIONS), disabled by default * Add to cmake/Modules/G4DeveloperAPI.cmake in function __geant4_add_library: if(GEANT4_USE_SOVERSIONS) set_target_properties(${_target_name} PROPERTIES VERSION ${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION} SOVERSION ${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION_MAJOR}.${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION_MINOR} ) endif()
