Description Daniel Berrangé 2011-03-07 17:16:47 UTC

Description of problem:
The pkgconfig file for netcf includes a line:

   Requires: augeas >= 0.5.0 libxml-2.0 libxslt

The semantics of the 'Requires' line is that this lists deps that need to be included on the compiler command line in order to compile netcf.

 ie,  -I /usr/include/libxml2

This would only be required if  netcf.h actually exposed some part of augeas, libxml or libxslt in its public API. This is not the case, the use of these libraries is an entirely private implementation detail. Thus the 'Requires:' line should be killed.

NB if you want to support static linking with netcf you would want to change 'Requires' to "Requires.private", but I'd just not support static libs myself.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
netcf-0.1.7-1.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.$ pkg-config --libs --cflags netcf
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
-I/usr/include/libxml2  -lnetcf -laugeas -lxslt -lz -lm -lxml2  


Expected results:
-lnetcf
