gtk+-2.0.pc's Libs only has -lgtk, it requires gdk, atk, and cairo because of grep -ir #include /usr/include/gtk-2.0 | grep -v 'atk' (it needs at least the Cflags). Some people go as far as saying that since the headers are included from gtk's headers, the resulting binaries should be linked against these dependency-libs. Some discussion of this in #340904 and friends. > 2. Even then, -lgtk-x11-2.0 still needs to come from the Requires, but > should still be private.

Exactly, the Cflags should always be used IMO, there's some debate on whether one should still link against libs of which the headers are seen. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
