If the "Requires" is legit, who cares if it is redundant? If it's not truly redundant, then it's a bug (in libpng) that needs to be fixed. > I don't see how libtool can intelligently decide the minimum set of > libraries needed to satisfy the link. pkgconfig has both Libs = Libs.private = The latter being for private and/or static linking. libtool needs something similar to pkgconfig's Libs.private. This, coupled with setting link_all_deplibs=no in the non-static case (ie, see the debian patch referenced earlier in this thread), should pretty much do the trick, afaict. -- Rex _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
