Patch to configure to include needed libs (455 bytes, patch)

Description Matt Keenan (IRC:MattMan) 2005-07-01 16:46:52 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 planner-0.13




Actual results:
Build fails with unsresolved symbol

Expected results:
Should build :)

Does this happen every time?
yes

Hm, is this really right? Are you sure this is not just a bug in that version of
pkg-config? I don't see why we should explicitly state that we want to link with
the X version of GTK for example. I remember that there were a few bugs
introduces when a new pkg-config maintainer took over a little while ago, could
this be one of them?
Comment 4 Laszlo (Laca) Peter 2005-07-02 02:04:09 UTC 
Hmm... you're right, 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 :(
Comment 5 Richard Hult 2005-07-02 07:44:45 UTC 
This is not a Planner bug, as far as I can see, I think we should just close it?
Comment 6 Matt Keenan (IRC:MattMan) 2005-07-04 08:57:37 UTC 
As pointed out by Laca, closing this as not a planner bug :)
