It adds a so called 'hidden dependency' and with it a possibility of things going horribly wrong. It is something that we try to avoid with mesa as the deps version at build time != run-time one. Or in other words, one might build against wayland 1.9 and things will go crazy as you run wayland 1.10, or vice versa.
Obviously that's not perfect, although unavoidable. Why ? As distros do not know about the requirement (i.e. it's not mandated at configure time) they won't rebuild and things won't work. At the same time if they do rebuild (again without the explicit requirement), things will break if one needs to revert to older (yet still in version range as per the deps list) wayland. TL;DR: The situation is quite sensitive and fragile. The only robust solutions that I can think of are: a) non-fatal (only for newer symbols) dlsym or b) bumping the req. version at configure time. -Emil _______________________________________________ waffle mailing list waffle@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/waffle
