GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 309294
gcalctool build breaks on Solaris with pkg-config >= 0.17.1
Last modified: 2005-07-01 17:05:40 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 gcalctool Actual results: Build fails with unresolved symbols Expected results: build should succeed :) Does this happen every time? yes Other information:

Thanks Matt. Changes checked into gcalctool CVS HEAD. I've bumped the version number in configure.in to 5.6.20.
