Putting them into a linker line causes a huge overlinking adding lots of unneeded direct dependencies to rpm packages. > -lX11 is missing (at least, maybe more). That's the problem with the current DSO change :( It causes packagers or upstream developers to define typical use cases (e.g. when somebody calls 'mylib_foo(otherlib_struct *)' he calls usually 'otherlib_init(otherlib_struct *)', so that '-lotherlib' is usually needed). Such soft decisions are far away from being reliable and to work for everybody... I ended up for 'xmlrpc-c' to replace .so symlinks by linker scripts with | INPUT(<main-lib> AS_NEEDED(<dep-libs>+)) commands. The <dep-libs> list is created by extracting recursively the NEEDED libs from <main-lib>. Not very nice but probably to only way to cope with '--no-add-needed' :( Enrico -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
