Subject: libxft-dev: pkg-config reports to much libraries for linking

Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 02:12:25 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: libxft-dev
Version: 2.1.8.2-8
Severity: normal

Hi,

the site http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib/ pointed me to the problem that
my package xjed defines too much dependencies:
http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib/log.xjed_0.99.18-5.html I could track
down this problem to

% pkg-config --libs xft     
-lXft -lfontconfig  

According the site above the linker option -lfontconfig is not necessary.

Bye, Jörg.

I think the following patch should fix this.  It gives the following
results:
$ pkg-config --libs xft
-lXft
$ pkg-config --static --libs xft
-lXft -lXrender -lfontconfig -lexpat -lfreetype -lz
$ pkg-config --cflags xft
-I/usr/include/freetype2  
$ pkg-config --static --cflags xft
-I/usr/include/freetype2  

which I think are correct (this is with pkg-config 0.21-1).
Unfortunately Requires.private isn't documented and its handling isn't
consistent (see #390132), so I'm not completely sure this is the right
thing to do :)

Cheers,
Julien

I believe the reason I didn't propose a patch to do this was precisely
because of --cflags handling, since xft does include some fontconfig headers
that clients will need to find the path for.
