Content test: windows dll / lib with ABI version

[wolfv]

The openjph package installs dll / lib files with a ABI version like foo.0.17.dll and foo.0.17.lib.

 │ │   - Library\bin\openjph.0.17.dll
...
 │ │   - Library\lib\openjph.0.17.lib

Should we support that?

Isuru pointed out on Element:

A common pattern is foo.lib and foo.0.17.dll which are equivalent to libfoo.so and libfoo.so.0.17 in linux

Another common pattern from GMP:

but is it common to have the lib file with these .0.0.17? i don't think so right?

[JeanChristopheMorinPerso]

I'd say that most of the time there is no version in the .lib filename. When there is a version, it's usually in the form mylib-2.lib.

FWI, i patched out the "lib" in the offending project and requested input from upstream aous72/OpenJPH#155

@jaimergp can we use your tool to run a query for the names of all *.dll and *.lib files in the conda-forge universe?

I am not sure if enforcing a naming rule makes a lot of sense. I imagine that, if the CMake find_package works correctly, things will be found no-matter-what their name ends up.

So we could also change the regex to something like foo*.dll and foo*.lib ...

The sqlite dumps are downloadable for this kind of large query that wouldn't be efficient in a public server. Some links:
