@MickJT 
That seems to be a nice idea, leaving out those minor revision numbers to avoid messy duplications. Otherwise, thanks for telling. Gives a better understanding of those SObjs libraries.

In most cases I'm leaving out the minor revision numbers so they change less often. I'm setting the version_type in libtool to either qnx or sco. I don't want to use just .so because there can be API and ABI changes that break compatibility. However, for sdl_image (for SDL1), it's the final version so the .so name hasn't changed in years.

I see a lot of problems with having several of the same SObjs files but with different numbers, rather than just updating the chosen SObjs library to a new version. That way, you avoid creating a lot of mess with multiple, duplicated versions of the same library. That has always been the problem with those SObjs stuff. I hope to see a much tidier way to keep this SObjs stuff as clean and updated as possible, without all these duplications. Keep up the excellent work.

These changes were needed to get the shared library working: http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum/viewtopic.php?post_id=73905#forumpost73905 
 
It applies to IMG_jpg/tif/png/webp.

FWIW I just built libSDL_image-1.2.so (version 1.2.12) but when I try to display a png image with showimage command it fails: 
11.fredriks-pc-Shared:> showimage protrekkr.png 
Couldn't load protrekkr.png: Failed loading libpng.so.15: SDL_LoadObject() not implemented 
Looks like libdl support is missing from our SDL lib...

Good question. Add this to list of things I need to do.

Why no shared object?

Oops. Is it worth me re-uploading it again just to fix the path?

There's an error in the archive which might lead to compiling errors when compiling clib2 stuff: 
 
libSDL_image.a and libSDL_image.la are in Local/clib2/, while they should be under Local/clib2/lib .

to answer myself, this latest version supports and needs libtiff.
