i think we're talking about the .la files for the loaders, not the main 'libImlib2.*' files ... in the normal course of things, if you link against libImlib2.so and have it load say jpeg.so, jpeg.la and jpeg.a are not needed ... the .la file is only used by libtool at build time which is why you always want libImlib2.la ... i dont think it's possible at all to link against the loaders directly is it ? so shouldnt the loader's .a and .la files be prunned from the normal `make install` target ? -mike ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
