libXcomposite.so.1.0.0

Hi,

I have downloaded the debian package of libXcomposite for powerpc. In the package I find
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7222 2008-05-30 18:22 libXcomposite.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2010-05-11 14:24 libXcomposite.so -> libXcomposite.so.1.0.0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-05-11 18:05 pkgconfig

but no libXcomposite.so.1.0.0 file. Can you tell me how to get this file for powerpc. I have tried several debian package and all have same.

Don't know why the specific version file is not there, but assuming that libXcomposite.a was build with the -PIC option (position-independent code), then you can use ar to extract the .o files and then create the appropriate shared library from those.
