On unix, this defaults to "" (NOTE: this is here for future use, it's not implemented yet) + shlib_variant => A "variant" identifier inserted between the base + shared library name and the extension. On "unixy" + platforms (BSD, Linux, Solaris, MacOS/X, ...) this + supports installation of custom OpenSSL libraries + that don't conflict with other builds of OpenSSL + installed on the system. The variant identifier + becomes part of the SONAME of the library and also + any symbol versions (symbol versions are not used or + needed with MacOS/X). For example, on a system + where a default build would normally create the SSL + shared library as 'libssl.so -> libssl.so.1.1' with + the value of the symlink as the SONAME, a target + definition that sets 'shlib_variant => "-abc"' will + create 'libssl.so -> libssl-abc.so.1.1', again with + an SONAME equal to the value of the symlink. The + symbol versions associated with the variant library + would then be 'OPENSSL_ABC_<version>' rather than + the default 'OPENSSL_<version>'. The string inserted + into symbol versions is obtained by mapping all + letters in the "variant" identifier to upper case + and all non-alphanumeric characters to '_'. thread_scheme => The type of threads is used on the configured platform.
