Hello, goxel does.[1] goxel-0.10.6/src/utils/ini.h:#define INI_HANDLER_LINENO 1 and gnutls would, too. So imho inih upstream needs a interface that allows linking either dynamically against system libinih or statically against the included copy without changing the source with something equivalent to the compile time options. The current Debian-patched version requires source changes depending on what linkage is targeted, upstream's version of the dynamic library just does not work when these compile time options are needed. cu Andreas [1] Which is probably why it actually uses the static copy although it depends on libinih.
