Description Matt Keenan (IRC:MattMan) 2005-07-01 16:43:41 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 gconf-editor-2.10.0




Actual results:
Build fails with unresolved symbols

Expected results:
Should build

Does this happen every time?
yes

this is a pkg-config issue, not a gconf-editor bug
