Without a SONAME gcc will put the whole library path into executables
which link against these libraries:
$ readelf -d Root/usr/local/games/openttd
Dynamic section at offset 0xf0747c contains 32 entries:
Tag Type Name/Value

This causes the executable to fail because the dynamic linker
tries to find the library in the incorrect path.
- Replaced /Root with
- Improved documentation.
- Removed a few typos.
- Replaced with
- Added brackets in some cases.
Most of the changes were reviewed and applied manually.
This manually builds shared libraries for a bunch of ports. Using
libtool would be preferable but that's currently broken so I'm
linking the shared libraries manually.
This library will allow us to port more multimedia programs and games,
since it's a common dependency of such projects. I was looking at
Scummvm's dependencies in particular, with a goal of porting them all
eventually, so that we can have Myst running in Serenity!
