But is Qt then building/installing their libs with automake/libtool ? And btw, if you use different library names you must use different binaries that are built to use different libraries. It seems more clever to me to build different libraries with the same name but different --prefix or something so that you can run the same binary using different libraries from different places decided at run-time!

I read more automake code and generated Makefiles, I'm positive the --program-suffix option is only intended for installed binaries/programs, not libraries. This is not a bug, and you can easily work-around this using other means.

Unless you can convince me otherwise, I will close this soon without any further action.

** [bugs:#1201] program-suffix & libcurl**
**Status:** pending-invalid
**Created:** Fri Mar 01, 2013 11:48 PM UTC by René Berber

curl version 7.29.0

Building with the --program-suffix option set does work fine for the executable, but the library doesn't get the suffix and, strange enough, the library man page does.

I would prefer to have a library with the suffix (so I can have a regular library, and a debug library for instance), and the man pages w/o suffix for executables and library (i.e. one man page is enough -- currently there are curl-configd.1, curld.1, and libcurld.3 after the suffixed build).
