If I typed ".a" instead of ".la", that was a mistake, sorry. I'm somewhat interested in the ".a" file only (and that as a dependency of the GNUTLS packages). pkg-config support would be nice, too, but would need changes to GNUTLS as well. -- Florian Weimer <[email protected]> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
