Actually, it's a libtool issue. It's acceptable to say you've got to rebuild libX11 when libxcb-xlib goes away since it was using symbols from it. Nothing else should matter, but it does because tons of .la files have been infected with an unnecessary reference to libxcb-xlib.la. Debian (and Ubuntu by proxy) has a patch that makes libtool only add needed libraries (i.e., those added on the command line) to the dependency_libs setting in .la files. Unfortunately, I think it still has a few corner case bugs that make it not upstream acceptable. I think this is it: http://patches.ubuntu.com/libt/libtool/extracted/link_all_deplibs.patch -- Dan _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
