[jira] [Created] (XERCESC-2176) Incorrect symbolic links created
for Linux static library and MacOS static and shared libraries
Brent Davis created XERCESC-2176:
------------------------------------
Summary: Incorrect symbolic links created for Linux static library and MacOS static and shared libraries
Key: XERCESC-2176
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2176
Project: Xerces-C++
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build
Affects Versions: 3.2.2
Environment: Linux, MacOS
Reporter: Brent Davis
We build Xerces-C++ for both the Linux and MacOS platforms, with both static and shared libraries. There are arguably some dubiously named symbolic links created by src/CMakeLists.txt. The symlinks are always named 'libxerces-c.so' regardless or library type, or use of the .dylib extension on MacOS.
||Platform||Library Type||Symbolic Link||Comment||

|{color:#00875a} {color}|{color:#00875a}shared{color}|{color:#00875a}libxerces-c.so -> libxerces-c-3.2.so{color}|{color:#00875a}good{color}|
|{color:#de350b}MacOS{color}|{color:#de350b}static{color}|{color:#de350b}libxerces-c.so -> libxerces-c-3.2.a{color}|{color:#de350b}symbolic link should either be libxerces-a or not created{color}|
|{color:#de350b} {color}|{color:#de350b}shared{color}|{color:#de350b}libxerces-c.so -> libxerces-c-3.2.dylib{color}|{color:#de350b}symbolic link should best be named libxerces-c.dylib{color}|
Curiously, the Microsoft _vcpkg_ folks just recently ran into the Linux static library portion of this issue and elected to not create the symlink in that case. See [[xerces-c] produces strange files in installed/x64-linux/lib|[https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/7490]].
