You don't need the .la files - we have dozens of packages linked to ORBit without them. The idea is to use orbit-config (ORBit1) or pkg-config (ORBit2) to get the libs. We have a deliberate policy of excluding .la files from the gnome packages. This mentioned policy seems to be not implemented in a consistent way. I expect that a Red Hat release is self-consistent, so that you're able to recompile everything within the distribution itself. I could not recompile the galeon package on 8.0 because of the missing *.la files. I think this happens with other Gnome packets as well. You get an error message about "libfoo.la not found" right? grep for "libfoo.la" in /usr/lib/*.la. Then "rpm -qf /usr/lib/whatever.la" for any .la files that contain a reference to libfoo.la. If you find whatever.la owned by a Red Hat official package, referring to nonexistent libfoo.la, then that's a bug we should fix. If whatever.la isn't owned by a package we shipped in 8.0, then it's a problem with wherever you got whatever.la. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021212 Description of problem: To link programs against ORBit libraries using libtool you need the *.la files within the devel package. These files are missing in many *-devel.%{arch}.rpm files. Therefore I was not able to rebuild e.g. the galeon package on my machine. Resulution: Add the *.la files to %files devel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to rebuild the galeon RPM on a Red Hat8.0 machine. Actual Results: Failed with errors about the missing files. Expected Results: Success;-) Additional info: Pleas check all Gnome releated devel-RPMS for these files.
