NAME¶
lv2soname - script which can be used in your build system to translate a linker
option into the soname
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
lv2soname command. This manual
page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
not have a manual page.
lv2soname script can be used in your build system to translate a linker
option (e.g. -lgtkmm2.4) into the soname (e.g. libgtkmm-2.4.so.1) for the
shared library that ld will link to when given that command line option. It
will generate the RDF triples needed to tell hosts that the library with that
soname must never be unloaded even after your plugin GUI library has been
unloaded.
e.g. $ lv2soname '<
http://my.gui>'
'<
http://lv2plug.in/ns/lv2core#requiredFeature>' -lgtkmm-2.4
If the script for some reason can't determine the soname it will instead
generate the RDF needed to tell the host to never unload the GUI library at
all.
However pretty much the same thing can be done by linking the plugin GUI using
the -z nodelete linker option, which will keep the GUI library loaded even
after the host runs dlclose(), requiring no extra support from the host. So
lv2soname is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version release.
