The Ftape Tools Manual - Libftvt
In order not to break compatibility with Albrecht's original
libvtblc `make install
' will install a symlinks which
redirect `LIBDIR/libvtblc.a
' to `LIBDIR/libftvt.a
'
and `LIBDIR/libvtblc.so
' to
`LIBDIR/libftvt.so
'. As the calling conventions and names of
the library functions have been changed, this alone would not
suffice. Therefore `make install
' also installs a wrapper header
file as
[INCLUDEDIR/]vtblc.h
which defines some macros which
do the trick. I do not claim that this provides perfect compatibility
between libvtblc and libftvt but as Amanda is so far the
only package which made use of libvtblc and because Amanda only
manipulates the time stamps and volume label entries this should
suffice.
The new library and header file are installed as
`LIBDIR/libftvt.[a,so]
' and
[INCLUDEDIR/]ftvt.h
.
