Hi, I've taken a look at this and came up with a couple of issues.
First of all, although we build modules for python2.3 and python2.4,
they both link (and use) libpython2.4 indirectly via libhk_classes.
The correct thing to do seems to be only to build for our main version
of python (currently 2.4), otherwise we'll have to build more than one
version of libhk_classes.
The linking issue is because we weren't pulling in the -dev packages
mentioned in dependency_libs in the .la file. The two options were to
either remove the .la file or alternatively have libhk-classes-dev
depend on the relevant libraries. I've taken the latter approach in
this NMU patch.
Can someone review this and check that my logic is sound.
Thanks,
Mark
