Without a SONAME gcc will put the whole library path into executables
which link against these libraries:
$ readelf -d Root/usr/local/games/openttd
Dynamic section at offset 0xf0747c contains 32 entries:
Tag Type Name/Value
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libgcc_s.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [/serenity/Build/i686/Root/usr/local/lib/libpng.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [/serenity/Build/i686/Root/usr/local/lib/libz.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [/serenity/Build/i686/Root/usr/local/lib/liblzma.so]

0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libicui18n.so.69]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libicuuc.so.69]

0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libm.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libc.so]
This causes the executable to fail because the dynamic linker
tries to find the library in the incorrect path.
- Replaced /Root with
- Improved documentation.
- Removed a few typos.
- Replaced with
- Added brackets in some cases.
Most of the changes were reviewed and applied manually.
This manually builds shared libraries for a bunch of ports. Using
libtool would be preferable but that's currently broken so I'm
linking the shared libraries manually.
