Hi Mathieu, Unfortunately that will not work for Lintian atm. Lintian uses "strings" to detect embedded libraries. Any use of public symbol (legitimate or not) will cause the symbol to be mentioned in the strings output of the consuming library. Accordingly symbol names are a really poor choice as they will flag /any/ client library even if they are not embedding libcharls. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
