Bug#662774: shared library

[Benjamin Drung]

Hi,

we like to have a shared library of liblivemedia in Debian and Ubuntu
[1]. This requires two things: First adjust the build system to create a
shared library and second take care of proper SONAME, ABI/API changes
management.

I would be willing to help changing the build system to create a shared
library. Would it make sense to change the build system from custom
Makefiles to CMake or autotools?

Taking care of a proper SONAME should be done upstream by the people
developing the code, because they know when they add features or break
the API or ABI.

Are you interested supporting a shared library by taking care of a
proper SONAME version?
