Hi Orion:
Thanks for that. I was concerned that rpmlint would complain about our
driver plugins, but apparently the only concern is our principal
libraries.

The pkg-config man page gives the reason why we get transitive linking
in that case:
Requires:
This is a comma-separated list of packages that are required by
your package. Flags from dependent packages will be merged in to
the flags reported for your package....
The solution I am investigating for CMake automatically disables
transitive linking for the shared case but uses transitive linking for
the static case (which I believe is necessary from the accompanying
discusssion). So we will want to do the same for the pkg-config
case. From reading further in the pkg-config man page it appears you
would get that by replacing the Requires: line in our *.pc files by
the corresponding Requires.private: line. That is, for plplotd-c++.pc
change
Requires: plplotd
==>
Requires.private: plplotd
and similarly for our other *.pc files.
Could you try that plplotd-c++.pc change by hand (or by editing
bindings/c++/CMakeLists.txt) to see if that satisfies your pkg-config
need for libplplotcxxd while I am working on the other question of
dropping transitive linking from our CMake-generated linking?
