Ah. I read your statement backwards. I think we're in agreement. Everyone should (really, must) link their own dependencies explicitly, and pkgconf style config lines should generally only list the library itself to avoid creating a situation where the caller fails to correctly identify its dependencies and doesn't know it. But maybe fltk intentionally does something inadvisable here. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
