[fdo-internals] CMake build fixes (Re: FDO 3.7 beta2 timeframe)

[Johan Van de Wauw]

I'm extremely busy this week but I may have a look next week to the other
issues you're talking about.

Anyway: since the autotools build is not using sonames anywhere it should
be dropped here for every library. Better not to have a soname than one
that is not correct or that is not used.
The version number of FDO should then be added to all public libraries; in
the same way as it is done for the auto* build now. But you have to do this
manually; AFAIK there is no switch in cmake that corresponds to libtool
--release.

But before rushing to making these changes: what is the original reason
that we have two build systems? We could also consider changing the
autotools build to optionally use dynamic libraries...
