Hello, Due to a circular dependency between libgda-3 and libgda_handlers, it isn't possible to build libgda (2.99.5) with strict symbol checking (ie, LDFLAGS=-Wl,-z,defs). Also, libgda-3 isn't getting and NEEDED entry on libgda_handlers-3, which may result in a segfault on other software if they aren't linked through pkgconfig (pkgconfig-linked software is safe, as both libs are included through -l).
I see two main ways to fix that: 1) Merge libgda_handlers into libgda-3. As currently it's impossible to link against one of them without linking against the other, I don't think there's any good reason to keep them as separate libraries, but I may be missing something here. 2) Split the symbols used by libgda_handlers to another library, so that both libgda-3 and libgda_handlers could depend on the newer library. Note that this will work only if the new library doesn't depend on libgda-3 or libgda_handlers. I haven't looked the code, so I don't know if that would be possible. If we can get on some consensus, I'll make a patch ASAP. Regards, Gustavo R.
