Package: llvm-3.2 Version: 3.2-2 Severity: normal Hi,
LLVM documentation report that: "llvm-config makes it easier to build applications that use LLVM. It can print the compiler flags, linker flags and object libraries needed to link against LLVM." http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-config.html However, "llvm-config-3.2 --ldflags" reports -L/usr/lib/llvm-3.2/lib -lpthread -lffi -ldl -lm I think that these options are required when doing *static* linkage (and note that all "-lXXX" are not flags but libs...) However, Debian provides and encourages the use of shared libraries. In this case, I do not see the interest to link any application or library to pthread, ffi, dl and m libraries directly if they do not use there symbols. llvm-config should probably have another option (--static) to request information about static linkage and default to dynamic linkage. Another possibility is to provide a llvm-3.2.pc file that correctly describe compilation options required when building and linking code with llvm.
