As far as I know, there are 3 ways to handle static linking: 1) Document somehow what a real link line will look like, or let people figure it out on their own; 2) libtool; 3) pkg-config. So, my upstream does not ship .pc files. I've thought about creating my own .pc files and trying to push them upstream, but haven't got around to it yet. Therefore, if I empty dependency_libs, anyone wanting static linking of my library will have to know, a priori, what its dependent libraries are. Is this OK, or should I wait until I have time to produce .pc files? -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
