[Devel] IRIX and ltmain.sh

[Nick Blievers]

Hi,
        I was wondering if anyone could explain the following block of shell 
script
to me. As far as I can tell, it produces the wrong results! When I build
freetype on Linux I get a .so.6, when I build on IRIX I get .so.7:

ltmain.sh:
        irix)
          major=`expr $current - $age + 1`
          verstring="sgi$major.$revision"

          # Add in all the interfaces that we are compatible with.
          loop=$revision
          while test $loop != 0; do
            iface=`expr $revision - $loop`
            loop=`expr $loop - 1`
            verstring="sgi$major.$iface:$verstring"
          done

          # Before this point, $major must not contain `.'.
          major=.$major
          versuffix="$major.$revision"
          ;;

        linux)
          major=.`expr $current - $age`
          versuffix="$major.$age.$revision"
          ;;

If someone can confirm that there is no good reason for this, I can make a
patch (simply remove that '+1'!).

Thanks

Nick
