Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2012-11-25 19:55:21 UTC
gstreamer-0.10.pc:Requires: glib-2.0, gobject-2.0, gmodule-no-export-2.0, gthread-2.0, libxml-2.0


This means that any app (or library) built against gstreamer-0.10 will have libgthread on its DT_NEEDED list.

Probably this should be dropped entirely (or if you still call g_thread_init() internally then moved to Requires.private)
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-11-25 22:27:32 UTC
Well, 0.10 is not maintained any longer, and unlikely to ever get another release, so this doesn't really strike me as something worth fixing. Can we close this?
Comment 2 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2012-11-25 22:49:57 UTC
I just checked -- the same bug is shared by gstreamer-1.0.pc.
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-11-26 00:53:40 UTC
Indeed, thanks. Looks like my grepping skills failed me a bit. This should take care of it:

    gst: don't require gthread-2.0
    
    We don't need to link to gthread-2.0 any longer, since all
    the normal thread-related stuff is in GLib proper, and we
    don't use g_thread_init() any more.

    gstreamer-1.0.pc: move gmodule-no-export-2.0 dependency to Requires.private
    
    Users of GStreamer are not generally expected to use the GModule API
    directly. so don't force them all to link against it.
    
    While we're at it, no need to define this via configure.ac really, just
    put the dependencies directly into the .pc.in file.

    docs: remove all mention of g_thread_init()
    
    It's been deprecated since GLib 2.32 and isn't needed any
    longer.
