With Meson, using the `soversion` argument of a library() target means setting the explicit soname, e.g.: soversion: 17.0.2 will be used to generate: libgnome-desktop-3.so.17.0.2 Unlike libtool, though, Meson will not generate the symbolic links for the first component of the soversion: libgnome-desktop-3.so.17 Which is what the dynamic linker will actually use to resolve the library dependency at link time. In order to get a symbolic link, we need to use the `version` field for the soname, and the `soversion` field for the first component: version: '17.0.2' soversion: '17' To avoid having to manually set two fields, we can generate the `soversion` value from the `version` one, so that they will always be in sync. This fixes the build of gnome-shell on Continuous, which has been failing since gnome-desktop has been moved to Meson with the error: ld: warning: libgnome-desktop-3.so.17, needed by /usr/lib/libmutter-3.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) Signed-off-by: Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi@gnome.org>
