reassign 474891 asc retitle 474891 asc should not link explicitly to libspeex.la thanks Hi, I'm punting this one back to the asc developers, its build system should be fixed to use a simple -lspeex instead of trying to do the .la dance even when such a file is not present. If you really want a convoluted way to get '-lspeex', pkg-config is also supported, but it's entirely unnecessary for a library as simple in its dependencies as this one is. Including the .la files with the Debian packages provides no practical gain and a whole new dimension of ways that things can 'accidentally' get screwed up by them. I'm sorry that removing them broke your package, but that bit wasn't accidental, so I think we should consider this a lint check and fix asc in this case.

I initially planned to work on this bug yesterday, but dist-upgrading was taking ages, and someone else reassigned the bug before I could give it a try.

I'm sorry that removing them broke your package, but that bit wasn't accidental, so I think we should consider this a lint check and fix asc in this case. I've also removed some .la files from some other packages, and I guess it's quite a good idea to try and rebuild reverse B-D to see which break, so as to be able to issue an advanced warning to the other maintainers. That's at least what I did for graphviz, and what I plan to do for the next upstream release of libgphoto2, for example. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois pgpJuRhQH1Guc.pgp Description: PGP signature

I initially planned to work on this bug yesterday, but dist-upgrading was taking ages, and someone else reassigned the bug before I could give it a try. It was me, sorry for my not-so-good knowledge in libraries. After further checking, it seems asc does not link against libspeex itself at all, but libDSL_sound does. In /usr/lib/libSDL_sound.la you can find the lines: -- # Libraries that this one depends upon. dependency_libs=' -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libsmpeg.la /usr/lib/libSDL.la /usr/lib/libmikmod.la -ldl /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.la /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.la /usr/lib/libvorbis.la /usr/lib/libogg.la /usr/lib/libspeex.la -lm' -- After localy rebuilding libdsl-sound, /usr/lib/libspeex.la is replaced by -lspeex and now asc builds fine (even with gcc 4.3). But before I reassign this bug to libdsl-sound, requesting a binNMU, I would like to hear your oppinion on that - am I correct with thinking libsdl-sound is buggy here?

This looks like libtool in libsdl just doing its 'borg thing when it finds .la files on the system. Doing a binNMU would be one way to clear this up, but I guess ideally we should reassign and clone this bug to libsdl, libvorbis, libogg, libmikmod and libsmpeg requesting that they all remove their .la files too ... It's the only way to be sure ;) Ron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
