Install a libWPEBackend-default.so symlink with fdo (#11) #12
Conversation
* When building with fdo support (-DCOG_PLATFORM_FDO=ON) create and install a libWPEBackend-default.so symlink pointing to libWPEBackend-fdo-0.1.so.0. * Also default to platform fdo is no other one is specified via command line argument.

I would propose creating libWPEBackend-cog.so and installing the libWPEBackend-default.so link that links to that libWPEBackend-cog.so library. Upon libWPEBackend-cog.so being loaded or queried for the first interface implementation via _wpe_loader_interface, the implementation would go out and search for the appropriate libWPEBackend library (e.g. libWPEBackend-fdo.so in case of COG_PLATFORM_FDO being enabled) and then load symbols from there. |

An alternative that I like better is what @carlosgcampos has implemented in WebKit#186841 and WebPlatformForEmbedded/libwpe#18 — that is, adding API to set the path to the WPE backend library, and passing it down to |

Yes, please, do not install default symlink, that would make cog incompatible with all other wpe browsers using the symlink. |

We'll eventually have API to configure which WPE backend implementation to use, so let's not merge this. |

and install a libWPEBackend-default.so symlink pointing to

Also default to platform fdo is no other one is specified via
command line argument.
