Package: libfreetype6-dev
Version: 2.3.7-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
In /usr/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc is the line
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype -lz
The freetype library is correct here, but the dependency to zlib seems to be
wrong for the shared version of the library. I would say that it is better to
change it to:
- Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype -lz
+ Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype
+ Libs.private: -L${libdir} -lfreetype -lz
This will give the right dependencies for the static version when you call
pkg-config --static --libs freetype2
and for the shared version
pkg-config --libs freetype2
Those changes will hopefully remove maaaaany unused dependencies in graphical
programs.
