> But you need it to compile and link it (especially in C/C++). Yes, for C/C++ sometimes developers needs the .a static libraries, the new library.h header, .la files, etc. And by convenience some libraries give a "dev" packages with all that, included the "nude" symlink that point to the develop library.
But this is not needed by fpc, fpc needs the .so dynamic library for linking, no more.
