Patch to add extra needed libs (887 bytes, patch)
2005-07-01 15:06 UTC, Matt Keenan (IRC:MattMan) 		accepted-commit_now Details | Review

Description Matt Keenan (IRC:MattMan) 2005-07-01 15:05:24 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Recent version of pkg-config no longer include all dependent libraries
when printing --libs.  (See
http://www.advogato.org/person/jamesh/diary.html?start=192
for details.)  On Solaris, binaries that directly use APIs from library L
now need to link to L explicitely, even if they link to another library M
that links to L.

Steps to reproduce:

1. On Solaris, install pkgbuild-0.17.2
2. Try building metacity-2.10.1




Actual results:
Build fails with unresolved symbols

Expected results:
Should build :)

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Looks good
Comment 3 Matt Keenan (IRC:MattMan) 2005-07-04 09:32:00 UTC 
Hmm, pkgbuild 0.18 and 0.18.1 includes the dependent libs again.
See http://blogs.gnome.org/view/jamesh/2005/06/21/0

I suggest to wait with this until we can do a full build with a new pkgconfig.
Unfortunately 0.18 and 0.18.1 are broken in other ways that make it
unusable for us :(

Okay, I'll mark this as needinfo in that case then.  Let us know when you get
more info, Matt.

Matt: any update?
Comment 6 Elijah Newren 2005-10-21 00:53:31 UTC 
No response, so I'll close.  Feel free to reopen if you have any more information.
