Reading library version

[faldzip]

Hi!
As I found in Assistant, I can set the version of my library with VERSION qmake variable.
This generates resource on Windows with VS_VERSION_INFO or something like this so the version is visible in dll file properties. But is there any way to get the version of loaded library? For example: I want to dynamicaly load shared library or plugin and check the version of it. On Windows I can use some WinAPI functions to get this VS_VERSION... but is there any cross-platform way to do this? If no, then how can I do the same on Linux (don't know if the version is stored anywhere)?

setting VERSION should (on Linux) result in libs named libXXX.so.x.y.z where x.y.z comes from your VERSION

Yes, but is this (the filename) the only place where I can find the version number? And what happend if I would have only lib*.so file in my directory?

And next thing is:
I have some library on Windows, let's say mylib (TARGET = mylib), but when I set version (VERSION = 1.2.3) then the resulting filename is: mylib1.dll. How to get the normal name (mylib.dll)? I would like this name without number, because I am already loading some plugins by name, so it will simply stop working if version changes.
