[CMake] Linking to a library: libfoo.so vs libfoo.so.1.2

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Hi there,

  I am inspecting a system using cmake, this system has the following:

$ ls -al /lib/libuuid.so.1*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    14 2008-01-10 17:51 /lib/libuuid.so.1 ->
libuuid.so.1.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10720 2007-12-06 16:55 /lib/libuuid.so.1.2


  the question is: can I link to this library ? If yes, how do I do
that in cmake ?

  I was hoping it should be possible, since it's a c lib and the
symbol can be found:

$ nm -D /lib/libuuid.so.1.2 | grep uuid_generate
0000000000001700 T uuid_generate


Thanks,
