I remember back with Houdini 5 (from what I had been told), that there was no need to compile a DSO for different builds, only when the version changed.
I experimented again, that it is not the case.
A DSO build for 9.1.124 will crash 9.1.179 and vice versa.
I just would like to have confirmation. (by the way it concerns Linux)
Cheers.

It used to be different?! Heh, yea, all our dso's crash if they're not compiled properly.

Yep, I've wondered for some time why this has changed, it's seems every minor update, new recompilations are needed. Have no idea why …

I would imagine that this was not really the case in general. The HDK uses, and always has used, the same raw library APIs that we do, so you're toast as soon as something like a virtual function table changes. Ideally, you'd be insulated behind a frozen API, but that's not the case with the HDK.

You may perhaps be thinking back to the days when there were no daily builds available.

I aggree, it was less work for me
