Version-Release number of selected component: SDL-1.2.7-3 Description of problem: Some 3rd party package fail to rebuild because of bad informations in the libSDL.la file. [root@gruyere /usr/lib]# grep asound libSDL.la dependency_libs=' -lm -ldl -lasound -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXext -lpthread' the "-lasound" is not necessary and linking will report no problem if I simply remove the -lasound from the libSDL.la. I suggest any of these 3 fix: 1. Exclude the libSDL.la file from the package 2. Make SDL-devel requires alsa-lib-devel 3. Edit the libSDL.la and remove the -lasound.
*hm* Spoken too soon. It seems only "2." is valid, since if you want to staticaly link against libSDL.a you will need libasound.a.
Fixed in rawhide in rpm SDL-1.2.7-4 or newer.
