Description of problem: Ogre refuses to load (cannot find) plugins that do not end in ".so" This is in violation with Fedora library naming scheme, as it does not allow specifying plugin version using .x.y.z suffix. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ogre-1.6.4-3.fc12 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: please see the source code of OgreDynLib.cpp Actual results: #if OGRE_PLATFORM == OGRE_PLATFORM_LINUX // dlopen() does not add .so to the filename, like windows does for .dll if (name.substr(name.length() - 3, 3) != ".so") name += ".so"; #endif Expected results: no such hardcoded filename rules Additional info: Note, I report against Fedora nad not upstream because of the ".so only in -devel packages" policy, don't know if other distros allow unversioned files hanging around ...
Is this causing a real problem right now for you, or is this something that just needs to get fixed eventually?
I'm trying to package FreeOrion, which loads GiGi Ogre plugin via this function. If I want to obey the guidelines, I have to put the unversioned symlink to the library into the -devel subpackage of GiGi. But then FreeOrion needs to depend on GiGi-devel. This is also against the rules, and brings a lot of other -devel dependencies ... So, effectively it blocks accepting the FreeOrion package. In reality, this is just the first try with those packages, to have at least something working. There is a lot of other ugly hacks that should be solved with upstream. I'm really not sure when GiGi is going to be accepted. Until then, the -devel dependency is not a big problem, because FreeOrion can be accepted only after GiGi, and people interested will rebuild from source, having devel packages anyways. Definitely not something that needs immediate fixing. But if you could do something about that when the next release comes, it'd be nice.
I won't jump right on this since I have some higher priority stuff to get done this week. Also since it's a real problem, I'll put in a hack if I need to, to make it work. I think I saw some other related problem with plugins where sometimes they added .so and sometimes they didn't. But it's been a few months and I don't remember if it was ogre or paged geometry that had the issue.
Another thing to be on the lookout for, is that there will probably be a major version bump for F14. I haven't checked real recently, but 1.7 was getting near done the last time I looked.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12.

so ... the update did not happen yet, the bug is still valid
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Does this still happen in F15 with the 1.7 release?
(In reply to comment #9) > Does this still happen in F15 with the 1.7 release? I haven't tried recompiling GiGi and FreeOrion in a while, but looking at the source code of OgreDynLib.cpp from ogre-1.7.3, the code in question hasn't changed

we have still the buggy 1.7.3
still the same code in ogre-1.7.4
I have committed a change to master that will first try plugin names as is, and if that fails and the name didn't end in .so, then it will retry with .so added. This change should end up in f19+, though currently I don't have a new build.
