Hi,
I would like to link against a library, say libfoo with soname
libfoo.so.0, but in my executable I'd like the DT_NEEDED entry to be
recorded as some other name, eg libfoo.myapp.so.0 so at install time I can
use a symlink to point the executable somewhere else.
Is there a way to make ld link against a given library, but break the
DT_NEEDED == DT_SONAME relationship without actually recompiling the
target library with a custom soname? Or does it involve binary edits?
thanks -mike
