Re: [liblo] Library versioning problem ?

I dont understand. OSX uses libtool library versioning doesnt it? The verson
of the library has nothing to do with the version of the package. I dont
quite remeber the deal, but if another 0.r.a library version comes out
isn't it binary compatible with other 0.r.as?

If you put the revision number first then there might be another 0.r.a in
the future if binary compatibility is broken. That doesnt make any sense to
me. c.f.
