Yes, it's following Requires and will pull Cflags and Libs from other modules. I think it would be ok in your case to move from Requires to Requires.private. There are some cases where this is not possible, for example would gtkspell/gtkspell.h #include gtk.h, it should pull the -I flags to see gtk.h; this -I flags is in the Cflags from gtk.pc, and hence gtkspell would need to Require gtk. On a related subject, I wonder if GtkSpell should depend on glib and #include its header to #define gchar, GError etc. Bye, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
