--- Comment #9 from Chris Vine <[email protected]> 2011-07-09 11:59:22 PDT --- "So as you can see I do not suffer from the same problem here. I really think this is something you need to take up with the slackware guys with regards to general goals to reduce overlinking." Is your distribution debian? On debian, I have read this: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00016.html . The three solutions for overlinking offered there are (i) to get the *.pc files right in the library which is being overlinked against, which I deduce you think to be already correct for pulseaudio; (ii) to get the packaging of the code which uses the library right, by avoiding non-standard config tools and if need be linking with -Wl,--as-needed, which I deduce you think is correct right now for libcanberra at least (viewing libcanberra as the user code); and (iii) to fix libtool, in particular so that it will distinguish between static and shared linking requirements. It is curious though that only libcanberra and gnome-shell appear to exhibit this problem, amongst the other candidates having pulseaudio dependencies (such as gnome-sound-applet, gnome-mplayer and the alsa and gstreamer plugins for pulse), but presumably that is something to do with the inner workings of libtool. The conclusion to this seems to be that if ABI compatibility between releases for pulseaudio is wanted, a patched libtool must be used. slackware avoids patching tarballs unless there is a clear bug or security issue which needs to be dealt with. I doubt an obscure overlinking point with pulseaudio, libcanberra and gnome-shell, none of which are shipped by slackware, is going to bring about patching of libtool, but who knows. Anyway I think this has gone as far as it can and I am grateful for your assistance. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
