The globus-gpt2pkg-config script produces pkg-config scripts that list
globus package dependencies as 'Requires:'. As a result, when calling e.g.
pkg-config --libs globus-gss-assist
you get
- -lglobus_gss_assist -lglobus_callout -lglobus_gssapi_gsi -lglobus_common -ldl
-lltdl
instead of just
- -lglobus_gss_assist
This is not necessary and in fact considered problematic[1].
1. http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Overlinking
The easy fix is to write Requires.private instead of Requires.
