Isn't this something normal? I don't have MinGW so platform-specific situation is not clear to me but, at least GNU libtool generates similar Makefiles so I think there are lots of other libraries who install like us. https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Release-numbers.html ---------------------------------------- Misc #13296: building ruby for windows always puts the version number into the ruby library, resulting in redundancy when using --with-soname https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13296#change-63411 * Author: Marty Plummer * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- Under gentoo the dev-lang/ruby-2.4.0.ebuild explicitly sets --program-suffix and --with-soname in order to facilitate multiple ruby version installations at the same time. Using crossdev for the x86_64-w64-mingw32 target, ruby's build system will set the final ruby libraries name to something like x64-msvcrt-${soname}${ver} which results in a final name of libx64-msvcrt-ruby24240.dll.a and so on. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
