Hi
Just Âa find on my Fedora 15 system for .la files, results in the

meant to improve packaging?I sense a misunderstanding. Though it's right, in general *.la's should
not be shipped, there is no rule which is strictly prohibiting shipping
*.la's, because there are situations when *.la's can not be avoided to
be shipped.
Wha situations? :)
A *.la file can specify linker flags, which libtool adds automatically to the link. An application might rely on this behavior.
This is frequently the case with static library. Although I can't immediately think of a use case for shared libraries, I would expect that there might be some.
