Version number missing in SONAME (libentityx.so)

[jpleau]

Hello !

jason@buildvm:~/entityx/entityx/build$ readelf -d libentityx.so  | grep SONAME
 0x000000000000000e (SONAME)             Library soname: [libentityx.so]

The SONAME is libentityx.so, without version numbers.

An example (SONAME doesn't have to be 1, it could be 0, but from what I see 1.0 is incompatible with 0.x)

• libentityx.so.1 could symlink to libentityx.so.1.0.1 (current release)
• libentityx.so could symlink to libentityx.so.1

The SONAME would be libentityx.so.1

Does that make sense ? It would surely help distributions packagers since being able to install multiple versions of a library is something people sometimes want/need (ie: SDL/SDL2)

Thanks !
