How can I change the filename of a shared library after building a program that depends on it?

by

We can use patchelf:

patchelf --replace-needed liboriginal.so.1 libreplacement.so.1 my-program

We can also remove a dependency:

patchelf --remove-needed libfoo.so.1 my-program

Add a dependency:

patchelf --add-needed libfoo.so.1 my-program

Or change the path where to search for the libraries (rpath):

patchelf --set-rpath /path/to/lib:/other/path my-program
