Indeed, Fedora quite some time ago stopped shipping libtool .la files because of how frequently they were flat out wrong and the dependency issues they caused. To be honest life is just fine without them. pkgconfig does a better job at the same thing. I hope I wasn't going off-topic on the point, but .la files are fragile and cause issues especially when you are doing fancy stuff like using a DESTDIR option to make install. For LFS where you typically are building locally they probably are fine but for package managers, they should not be packaged and pkgconfig should be used instead. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
