Hi Gregor,

When linking libdvbv5.la I get the following warning from libtool:

CCLD libdvbv5.la
libtool: link: warning: `-version-info/-version-number' is ignored for convenience libraries

Other libs don't give that warning, but I don't see any obvious differences.

Do you know what might cause this?

Regards,

Hans

Yes. It is caused by the fact that libdvbv5 is built as static lib by default. And for static libs it does not make sense to specify version numbers like for dynamic libs. I'll fix the warning during the next days.

Thanks,
Gregor
