Patch to configure to add necessary libs (446 bytes, patch)

Description Matt Keenan (IRC:MattMan) 2005-07-01 17:08:41 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 zenity-2.10.0




Actual results:
Build fails with unresolved symbols

Expected results:
Should build :)

Does this happen every time?
yes

Comment 2 Lucas Rocha 2005-07-03 04:14:04 UTC 
It seems that this is a pkg-config issue on Solaris. According to the pkg-config
ChangeLog, new configure options were added to enable/disable indirect deps
handling. These option are --enable-indirect-deps and --disable-indirect-deps.

I suggest you to first install pkg-config with --enable-indirect-deps option set
and see if zenity build works fine on Solaris, ok?
Comment 3 Matt Keenan (IRC:MattMan) 2005-07-04 09:00:14 UTC 
This is indeed correct, pkgbuild 0.18 and 0.18.1 includes the dependent libs
again. See http://blogs.gnome.org/view/jamesh/2005/06/21/0

Closing this as not a zenity bug.
