I saw that sysprof was now recommended for libsoup, and I thought I'd seen a post about that, but I can't spot it in my mail or by searching on google ?
Anyway,for the current build I went along with the recommendation and added it, plus libdazzle. But building libsoup did not go smoothly: First, ld failed to find libsysprof-4.so. Invoking ldconfig solved that, but then ld failed to find libsysprof-capture-4 because it is a static lib which I automatically make unavailable - I *want* to know what uses static libs to indicate what needs to be rebuilt when upgrading. Obviously not the book's problem, but an annoyance - there are very few packages I now build where I need static libs (binutils, expect, libcap, libtool, qtwebengine, graphviz) and they were one of the reasons why I gave up on kf5. Unfortunateley, my later build attempts overwrote the original log, so I can't confirm that it was indeed libsysprof-4.so which was missing, and therefore I can't confirm that ldconfig needs to be run. Now that my system is more or less complete I've taken a look at the meson filesi from libsoup and it seems to me that sysprof is expected to be optional and auto-detected. But perhaps I'm missing something ? ĸen -- The people next door oppress me all night long. I tell them: I work all day, a man's got to have some time to learn to play the tuba.
