We once had a test case where it was necessary to add the libs, but I don't remember the details. Unfortunately, it is not documented properly. If the fix is still valid, it should trigger if an application that uses libusb uses pkg-config to find out about the necessary libs. The app should itself not need the two libs and it should fail because of missing symbols introduced by libusb. I think we had such a case, but cannot remember where. > I can find no reason to apply this patch any more, since the library > compiles just fine without it, and even the testtools we use > (including libusb-compat) that use this library link just fine... > > If you know of a reason to keep the patch I could forward port it, > otherwise I will update the patch to drop this patch from the tree. For the moment, I've committed a version bump and ported the patch forward, with a comment. rsc -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
