GGML Shared Library Conflicts in whisper.cpp and llama.cpp

Bug Report: GGML Shared Library Conflict

Issue

Both whisper.cpp and llama.cpp compile and install GGML shared libraries (.so files) to the system. This causes:

• Overwriting of shared libraries when both projects are installed
• Package management tracking issues
• Violation of shared object design principles

Impact

• System libraries get overwritten unpredictably
• Package managers cannot properly track dependencies
• Potential compatibility issues between applications

[ming2k]

I'm not sure if I should report the problem here, but I guess these communities are interoperable.

[ming2k]

Perhaps they can add an option to choose whether to build ggml independently before compiling.

Is it finally time to make releases as syncpoints for distribution?
