This option has the effect of manipulating the ELF version and symbol scripts applied to the shared library to define symbols like "apng_read_end@@PNG_16_0". When using a fully shared setup and linking other system libraries (for example, Qt6) in an application, this causes system libraries that were linked against the system libpng.so to fail to find libpng symbols. Because they have a prefix of "a".
This should have been removed in the merge from two separate ports into one port with a feature in
ff6a725
./vcpkg x-add-version --all
and committing the result.An example of the failure when using VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE of 'dynamic' is like so:
Because the lib as created by vcpkg does not export that symbol (png_read_end@@PNG16_0) but instead a host of versioned symbols with the name "apng_*"
