What I still see left of this argument is that on Unix linking via -lfoo
is more convenient and better than linking against a hardcoded libfoo.so
directly.
I wouldn't mind using "lib" on Unix but I think we should definitely
define a rule for the convention on each platform. Now. This would
simplify plugin loading code. At the same time entries like
kshorturifilter.desktop should be normalized
- X-KDE-Library=libkshorturifilter
+ X-KDE-Library=kshorturifilter
to simplify things.
Harri.
