[fltk/fltk] Could you please drop the suffix "_SHARED" from shared library names? (#214) "yuri Apr 09, 2021  
 

For example, you install:

lib/libfltk.a
lib/libfltk_SHARED.so
lib/libfltk_SHARED.so.1.3
lib/libfltk_SHARED.so.1.3.5
lib/libfltk_forms.a
lib/libfltk_forms_SHARED.so
lib/libfltk_forms_SHARED.so.1.3
lib/libfltk_forms_SHARED.so.1.3.5
lib/libfltk_gl.a
lib/libfltk_gl_SHARED.so
lib/libfltk_gl_SHARED.so.1.3
lib/libfltk_gl_SHARED.so.1.3.5
lib/libfltk_images.a
lib/libfltk_images_SHARED.so
lib/libfltk_images_SHARED.so.1.3
lib/libfltk_images_SHARED.so.1.3.5

Many projects build and install both static and shared libraries with the same name without a problem. This is a convention to share names in shared and static libs. For example:

libboost_stacktrace_basic.a
libboost_stacktrace_basic.so
libboost_stacktrace_basic.so.1
libboost_stacktrace_basic.so.1.72
libgthread-2.0.a
libgthread-2.0.so
libgthread-2.0.so.0
libgthread-2.0.so.0.6600.7
