No. If that were the case, -lpng12 would appear on the linker command-line. It doesn't. Also: $ pkg-config --libs gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -pthread -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 $ grep png /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gdk-pixbuf-2.0.pc Requires.private: gmodule-no-export-2.0 libpng12 -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
