First, let me apologize a second time...I thought I had found this thread on Alsa-user, but in fact it was posted to alsa-cvslog. I imagine it was more than a bit confusing without the context of the rest of the thread. The bulk of that message was: ----------------------------------------- -lm -ldl -lpthread are _not_ needed in Libs (since the alsa interface doesn't depend on libm, libdl or libpthread interface) and just bring unneeded dependencies. These should rather be put in Libs.private: Libs: -L${libdir} -lasound Libs.private: -lm -ldl -lpthread See ALSA bug#2212 . ----------------------------------------- and what follows after that was a difference file for making these changes to alsa.pc.in I'm trying to build the library to run on a uClinux target that apparently does not support libdl. But when I build the alsa library with --disable-shared --enable-static it still terminates when it can't find libdl. And as you indicate, when I remove all references to -lm -ldl -pthread in the configuration files, the build terminates with undefined references. Any help with building the alsa to run under uCLinux would be greatly appreciated.
