Hmm, can you give me a hint on how one is supposed to define a weak symbol? This is all rather new to me. > dropping subdirs which aren't referenced via rpath from the resolver in > mklibs. none of that libs will be reduced. I am sorry, I do not grasp this sentence in the given context. The problem is not reduction, at least not AFAICS. mklibs is not supposed to reduce /lib/brltty/lib*.so. It only checks that all referenced symbols are actually defined somewhere (in a library), which fails since the missing symbol is actually defined in the executable that loads the lib. -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> | Get my public key via finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
