If you want to link statically, you still need to list the static dependencies explicitly, and the .la file is where the dependencies are. Sure enough, most packages don't rely on libtool for that and just take care of finding dependencies themselves, so this is hardly a strong argument to keep the .la files around. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Secretary for FSF Latin America http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
