Package: gtkgl2 Version: 2.0.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-ubuntu natty ubuntu-patch
Hi Sam, The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu gtkgl2 package, to null out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la file being shipped in the -dev package. This is generally a good idea because it avoids causing consumers of your library to require other .la files listed here to be available at build time when they're not actually needed (i.e., in the dynamic linking common case). It's specifically a good idea right now because multiarch is imminent, and that means the .la files referenced here are going to *move* soon, causing build failures for anything using libtool to build against gtkgl2. As long as gtkgl2 is going to need a rebuild to fix up the invalid .la references, it would be nice to get rid of them altogether. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
