How to avoid having version numbers in .so file name

Question

I\'m trying to build a dynamic library on Linux using qmake. Here is my .pro file:

TEMPLATE = lib
TARGET = sqxUiBase
QT += core gui   
CONFIG += dll    
INCLUDEP         


        

Answer 1

What you are looking for is making a plugin.

Add CONFIG += plugin to your project file, and qmake will generate a Makefile that builds a libFoo.so file, without the numbered links
