Hi, do I get that all right, the .la files can be ommited? So when
building a fresh install, removing all and any .la would solve problems
about missing .la files? In other words, as long as there is "not a
single one" .la file present, there will be no issue?
Currently i tried to build lightdm - and it fails as libgobject-blah.la
is not present.

Whats the "standard" way to get around those issues?

sed -i "s#/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la#-lgobject-2.0#g" /usr/lib/*.la
OR
mkdir /usr/lib/libtool-bak &&
mv /usr/lib/*.la /usr/lib/libtool-bak
alternatively, just
rm -v /usr/lib/*.la
(but not from subdirs of /usr/lib)
I am working on a page to explain that, hopefully later today.
The only app that needs the .la files at run time that I know of right now
is ImageMagick. Nothing in Linux needs .la files at link time if they do
not exist. Occasionally there are .la files specified in .pc files that
has to be fixed.
