Description Orion Poplawski 2011-05-26 21:29:51 UTC

Description of problem:

fltk 1.1:
# fltk-config --ldflags:
-lfltk
# fltk-config --ldflags --use-gl
-lfltk_gl -lGLU -lGL -lfltk

fltk 1.3:
$ fltk-config --ldflags
-lfltk -lXext -lXft -lfontconfig -lXinerama -lpthread -ldl -lm -lX11
$ fltk-config --ldflags --use-gl
-lfltk_gl -lGLU -lGL -lfltk -lXext -lXft -lfontconfig -lXinerama -lpthread -ldl -lm -lX11

Really need only be:
$ fltk-config --ldflags
-lfltk
$ fltk-config --ldflags --use-gl
-lfltk_gl

As I understand it,  when linking to fltk you need only specify -lfltk_gl or -lfltk, other deps are brought along automatically.  Adding extra libs only adds unneeded deps and are only needed when static linking.

Also as it stands packages building against fltk can get:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXinerama

because fltk-devel does not require libXinerama-devel.  But again, I believe it is not necessary to specify the extra libraries.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.3.0-0.1.rc5.fc16

Right you are, deps should be picked up automatically.

fltk-1.3.0-0.2.rc5.fc16 should be fixed. If issue is still present, please reopen this ticket. Thanks for the report!
