Re: [paho-dev] MQTT C Shared Library Names

[Ian Craggs <icraggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are plenty of examples of longer library names on my system:

libQtDesignerComponents.so.4

and you hardly ever have to type them in, so a longer name doesn't seem to be a problem to me.  In fact, in common with some other names, we could add a dash:

libpaho-mqttv3c

We probably don't need the v3 part, although I quite like it.  If there were ever a v4 then that could have a v4 suffix.  I'm thinking that the OASIS standard behaviour would be obtained with the same library using a flag in the connect options.

I actually think maintaining the whole "paho" is important here so people have a chance of finding us from a Google search based on filename. I wonder if we need the "v3" part though?

phmqttv3c.dll
libphmqttv3c

keep it short, omit vovels like hebrews do :-)

cheers,
