# `empty-shared-library-symbols`

Although the package does not include any shared libraries, it does have a symbols control file. If you did include a shared library, check that the SONAME of the library is set and that it matches the contents of the symbols file.

SONAMEs are set with something like `gcc -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so.0`, where 0 is the major version of the library. If your package uses libtool, then libtool invoked with the right options should be doing this.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `pkg-has-symbols-control-file-but-no-shared-libs`
