Choosing .so suffix during installation

Hi, I was just wondering, is there a way to choose the shared object suffix used on installation/configuration?
When I run ./configure & make, I end up with a shared object "libmaxminddb.so.0.0.7". Ideally, I would like the suffix to match the package version - in my case "libmaxminddb.so.1.7.1". Is there an option to do this?
P.S, I am running this on Ubuntu 20.04.
Thank you in advance :)

No, this is not easily configurable, although you may be able to set it via some LDFLAGS options. I believe using the versioning this way is actually discouraged.
