After skimming some of the thread about .pc files in -devel or not, it
seems like .pc files should be generating automatic dependencies. Is
that not correct?
Nope, only newer versions (than what Fedora currently has) of rpm
includes the feature to automatically add
Requires:
dependencies extracted from .pc files (see Requires: line below, which
happens to be empty).
I package plplot, and plplot-devel contains:
# cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/plplotd.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include/plplot
drvdir=${libdir}/plplot5.6.1/driversd
Name: PLplot
Description: Scientific plotting library (double precision)
Requires:
Version: 5.6.1
Libs: -L${libdir} -lplplotd -L/usr/lib -lqhull -L/usr/lib -lcsironn
-ldl -lm -L/usr/lib -lcsirocsa -lz -L/usr/lib -lfreetype
Cflags: -I${includedir}
But there are no dependencies on qhull-devel (via libqhull.so) and so
forth. Should there be?
Kinda sorta. 2 solutions:
1. (imo, preferred), strip all/most non-plplot libs from the Libs:
line. Those are only ever really needed for static linking (and Fedora
doesn't include those, by default)
2. Add to plplot-devel Requires for the pkgs that include the libs
referenced in Libs:
