For a quick fix: Add -lgio-2.0 to artha_LDADD in src/Makefile.am and regenerate the autotools files, for example with dh-autoreconf at package build time. Another, more robust way, would be to use the @GTK_LIBS@ variable, which is populated by the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro with information taken from pkg-config. The author of the software actually addresses this point in Makefile.am: "# @GTK_LIBS@ & libdbus_CFLAGS are not used to avoid unwanted # libraries (like -latk, -lrt, etc.) passed to the linker" This is a valid point, but can be mitigated by building with the --as-needed linker flag, for example with this in debian/rules: export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND += -Wl,--as-needed -- Andreas Moog, Berliner Str. 29, 36205 Sontra/Germany Ubuntu Developer PGP-encrypted mails preferred (Key-ID: 74DE6624) PGP Fingerprint: 74CD D9FE 5BCB FE0D 13EE 8EEA 61F3 4426 74DE 6624
