[opensuse-packaging] autoconf's PKG_CHECK_MODULES and static libraries
I have this build fail: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=x86_64&package=aegisub&project=home%3ARedDwarf%3Amultimedia&repository=openSUSE_Factory The first funny part is that libwx_baseu-2.8.so actually has the DT_NEEDED entry to libz.so.1. Playing a bit with it it seems it's a gcc bug? The actual problem is that -lffms2 is only available as a static library and that's the library really missing libz. And here my problem... The ffms2 library has a nice .pc file that correctly specifies -lz in Libs.private. But aegisub detects ffms2 through the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro... which doesn't use the --static flag. I understand the .private thing was added later in the pkg-config development... it was forgotten to add that capability to the autoconf macro or I am missing something important? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

This is a long standing bug, that's why you probably have seen packages where .pc files are either patched or sed'ed out Libs.private or Requires.private. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

IMHO, rpm should also exclude Requires.private from autogenerated pkgconfig dependencies or better remove Requires.private or Libs.private from *.pc files when the package has no static libraries. Currently it serves the only purpose of bloating dependencies that are never used in the build process :-( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
