-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Qt4 maintainers,
I have a concern and a possible request regarding the dependencies listed in the prl files. According to [1], any object should only be linked against those libraries from which it actually uses symbols. However, in all pkg-config or other files for Qt4, *all* libraries are listed, dragging in a lot of actually unneeded dependencies. In my case (PyQt4), the only dependencies needed are the various libqt4-* packages, but neither freetype nor any X library. I've modified the build system of PyQt4 to get rid of this problem, but a recent bug [2] introduced a bigger problem. The QtAssistantClient library is static and thus needs QtCore (and maybe others) when linked. Still, the prl-file contains all libraries (freetype, fontconfig etc) which are needed by QtCore. I could modify the build system a bit more, but I'm already quite uncomfortable with my changes. I wanted to discuss this issue with you to find a good solution for everybody. best, Torsten [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00016.html [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=385818 Please CC me, I'm not subscribed!
