Public bug reported:
This file disappeared from 19.10 dev package. Without the *.la file,
libtool fails to configure libraries with GTK dependencies.
My work around was to grab the file from 18.04 and change the metadata
for the current library versions. That allowed me to successfully
compile my package with GTK dependencies.
Perhaps there is some libtool/autoconf magic that I do not understand
here? Please do tell me how to address this this issue if I am
misunderstanding the need for the *.la file. Thanks.
